This film has some clever/charming moments, but overall, moves so fast that it doesn't feel cohesive. Something will happen with no context and then it quickly moves to the next thing. Most of the characters are underdeveloped, but in particular, the character of Lisa goes from 0 to 100 with no transition. Because of that, most of the antagonists are more sympathetic than evil. Which makes Lisa a protagonist that's difficult to rally behind. The overall tone is cynical enough that I can't tell whether the characters are intentionally unlikable or if it's from the frenzied pacing. There are certain bits with potential but lots of holes and some interesting segments that are quickly abandoned.
