I can truly say that I haven't seen such a crazy film as I have with this one. It's one of the wildest comedies I have experienced in a long time. It's eccentric and imperfect but very original and very enjoyable. Critics are raving over Boots Riley's script and direction (hence the 95% rating).
A word to the wise........this movie is not for everyone (as you can see by the users rating of 65%). It has a message that packs a punch and gets to the heart of issues that we're all familiar with. It has a modern, up-to-date look to an early day movie -- "Being John Malkovich".
Don't say I didn't warn you.....LOL....Enjoy!
