Buckaroo Banzai is an acquired taste. Sort of like making a meal of fresh Sushi and Diet Dr. Pepper, it's not for everyone. But, if you have a sense of humor that includes finding displays of grocery store fresh fruit amusing, this film is for you.
Did I mention it's a bit quirky?
The humor is deadpan, and delivery timing is actually quite good. You'll spend at least some time wondering about Dimensions 5, 6 and 7, as well as what makes Perfect Tommy Perfect.
Like Penny Pretty being from Laramie although she's was born in Cody, nothing is as it seems.
All in all, just let it wash over you, and realize there are plenty of worse ways to spend 102 minutes.
