The newest film from the director of Napoleon Dynamite is much like its predecessor, which is to say it’s weird. That sounds harsh, I know, but there’s no getting around it. It’s just weird. Bizarre. Kooky. A little out there. And I hate to admit that because I really wanted this film to be great….
