Both actors, unfazed by the sheer oddity of their task, rise energetically to the occasion.

Impossible to categorize, this stunningly original mix of the macabre and the magical combines comedy, tragedy, fantasy and love story into an utterly singular package that’s beholden to no rules but its own.

Even as it invites snarky ridicule, Swiss Army Man dares you to buy into its singular earnestness.

Like a 10-year-old cracking potty jokes at recess, Swiss Army Man is so impressed with its own juvenile outrageousness that it forgets to do anything else, like touch your heart.
