Absurd genius or idiocy unbounded? Hard to say, but David Lynch’s work can hardly surprise anybody anymore. Three actors in costume, an apartment, a long static shot, atmospheric music, frenetic laughter from the audience, a minimum of dialogs and a couple of sounds in the background. And that's all. The main thing is, though, that this is more “entertaining" than most regular comedy shows. And Naomi Watts is especially delicious here.

The year 2002 was quite productive for David Lynch, unfortunately he focused mainly on short films and experiments. This time it is also an experiment. Actors on stage in the theatre, or during the filming of a sitcom, have rabbit heads and perform for an invisible audience that laughs at unexpected moments, applauds when you least expect it. In this regard, it is already absurdity that has some expressive power, unlike "DumbLand". To be honest, this could have been done in 10 minutes or less, it didn't need to take a whole 50 minutes.
