John Lithgow and Geoffrey Rush inThe Rule of Jenny Pen.– Shudder
I liked it a bit less than everyone else but its definitely a weird, fun movie.
A truly upsetting movie with excellent performances.
Still though, its a solid premise that takes some unexpected turns.
The songs are awesome, the violence is fun, and the tone is hilarious.
We just wish it was about 20 minutes shorter.
