I can&#8217;t tell if I like it more or less than the other Dupieux movie I&#8217;ve seen because it&#8217;s been too long, but this one has more actors I recognize: Eric Wareheim (using his uniform to harass yoga women in the park) and Steve Little (a drug dealer trying to hide his gay-porn history from his family).  Best of all, and I never thought I&#8217;d say this, playing a teenager (?) with the absolute most hilarious line deliveries: Marilyn Manson.<\/p>\n<p><em>Yoga woman strikes back:<\/em><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image18\/wrongcops2.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Little delivers drug packages duct taped inside a dead rat.  Eric&#8217;s partner is <em>MADtv<\/em> regular Arden Myrin, and the main cop harassing Manson is Mark Burnham.  I think he shoots a guy watering the lawn (Daniel Quinn), who ends up riding around in Little&#8217;s trunk for half the movie before making a valuable contribution to Eric Judor&#8217;s music composition.  Both of Laura Palmer&#8217;s parents appear (separately).  At least one person dies at the end (Little stabs himself in the neck with a gardening tool).  It&#8217;s a silly bit of fun which would be forgotten tomorrow if not for the fact that it features Marilyn Manson, and &#8211; I cannot stress this enough &#8211; he is great.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/journal\/image18\/wrongcops1.jpg\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lightweight absurd comedy about a group of not-good cops.
