Premium Crap. CrapScore 76, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A successful pickle-company executive becomes a murder suspect. He is also a six-foot koala, a fact his colleagues accept with admirable professionalism. The straight-faced mystery eventually acquires dream logic, songs and enough twists to make the animal costume seem like the least unusual decision.
