This is a 100 minute movie by prolific writer and director Kevin Smith. The cast is pretty good It only consists of four people really, but all of them played their parts well. The first half belongs to Justin Long, the second half belongs to Johnny Depp (almost unrecognizable). Also in there are the stunning Genesis Rodriguez and Academy Award nominee Haley Joel Osment ("The Sixth Sense"). The latter two have an affair with Long's character being the real boyfriend to Rodriguez' character. However, he constantly cheats on her and treats her and everybody else like crap. Osment's character really loves her and comforts her and this is how the two became a couple. Obviously they made Long's character as despicable as possible, so you will not really have too much sympathy for what happens to him as the film goes on. The two guys have a show together, so Long's character travels to Canada to find interesting people to talk to and interview for their program. He finds a note and visits an old man's house. Sadly, that one has no good things in mind and intends to transform his victim into a walrus to re-enact a scene from his life from many decades ago. In the end, the evil guy gets into a walrus costume himself and the two fight like real animals.
This was one of the weirdest things I have seen in a long time. The moment Long's character was seen for the first time as a walrus was like the biggest wtf-moment ever. The whole thing can probably be categorized as a horror movie, but it is all so absurd that it can also be described as comedy. There were a couple funny scenes, like when they call the police in the car and say "not-see party" and the police officer immediately hangs up. This was the funniest moment for me. Or another (not so) funny scene when he says he does not want to die in Canada. And it works as drama too. That final shot one year later was actually pretty sad. I recommend this film especially to people who liked "The Human Centipede". It reminded me a lot of this one. Or just to people who are looking for something different. As weird as it gets.
