Title: a bleak and boring fantasy
Product review: I generally like fantasy & sci fi; maybe the trouble for me with BJM is that I have seen -- and read -- too much of the genre to be impressed by a mere bizarre idea. And that's all this movie has going for it. In particular, in order to like a movie, I need to like and sympathize with at least one of the characters. In spite of the basic premise that these characters get a kick out of being someone else, each of them is totally selfish and self-absorbed, and therefore, for me, totally unengaging. This is a complaint about the writing, not the acting. The only thing I enjoyed about this movie was the puppeteering.
