I have to say—after marinating on this for a couple of days—that this film had SO MANY “holy shit, that was out of left field” moments that I can’t easily think of any film to compare it to.
one of my favorite WTF scenes was when Ralph appears to be giving a dramatic monologue and breaking down. The drama teacher wraps up the scene with something like “Careful Ralph, you want them laughing with you, not at you.” Then the scene ends with no sense of context on how to read any of this.
Though it did make me laugh out of bewilderment.
