A man and woman fall in love at a bumper car fair ride. While clothes shopping, the saleswoman takes a suggestive photo of the woman surrounded by male mannequins. Seeing the photo and thinking that his wife is cheating on him, the man begins having affairs with many women. The woman hires a hitman to kill her husband and also finds a man with a "soul transfer" machine so she can be inside the women her husband is sneaking around with.
There are few filmmakers who can do no wrong and Bill Plympton is one of them. His style is consistent, but improves with time. The sketchy art style is exactly what I like most. He also does these exaggerated and abstracted sequences that I find bizarrely wonderful. A good example in this film would be the hitman taking weapons out of his drawers. He pulls out a really long bullet belt, a really long gun, atomic bombs, a rubber dildo and a flower bouquet, among other items. What marks this film as different from other Plympton films I've seen is lack of dialogue. It was all done visually, with sound effects and music. I have to rate this best. If you're looking for wild animation, here it is.
