Безумно веселая комедия, в которой умопомрачительная плотность юмора — десять шуток-гэгов в минуту. И так — от первого кадра до последнего. Это солянка из всего сразу.

А также фильмы — кун-фу, катастрофы, боевики, драмы и даже классический Голливуд — ничего святого! И, конечно, реклама, как невинная, например, пропагандирующая чудо-лекарства, так и неприличная, в подробностях излагающая содержание эротического блокбастера «Чудо-девчушки из католического колледжа»…
