Both deeply weird and charmingly dear.

Kaufman's new script isn't as inspired as "Malkovich." It's a precious little concoction -- the B-plus work of a madcap genius.

A hoot, or at least a collection of delightful hootlets hung on a short, frayed line.

The characters are much less finely tuned and the climax is a botch, but the French-financed film is often a riot, and the sensibility is all there.

Pure unadulterated animal fun.

The result is a satisfying and original picture.

The movie has nowhere much to go and nothing much to prove, except that Stephen King is correct and if you can devise the right characters and the right situation, the plot will take care of itself -- or not, as the case may be.

A treat for aficionados of oddball movies.

Fresh and often very funny, and it makes its point that when our native urges conflict with social norms, the former shall give in to the latter, or else.

Nature lacks a little of Malkovich's freshness, but that's just about all it lacks.
