Off The Wall

This one really caught me by surprise. It's really, really damn silly and a total treat. I know it's not for everyone, but if you like the absurd, you'll love this one. I had to do a tech screening of this and had every intention of trashing it, but ended up bustin' my damn gut laughing. I think I spilled my Dr. Pepper.
