I was excited to see this, but it fell extremely flat for me. The Driving Miss Daisy sequence was funny, but otherwise, the script was weak and the pacing was awful. This felt like Punch Drunk Love, where it didn't know if it was supposed to be funny or touching and tried to be everything at the wrong times.
I can only hope that Gondry was intentionally trying to make his approach as amateurish as his characters' films, but I doubt it. Wait for Netflix.
