Mr. Morelli mixes live-action and animated scenes to good effect. He doesn't have time to give his characters depth, but there's pleasure in figuring out how they connect and pondering the movie's modest themes.

A convoluted comic brain-teaser that aims to delight but doesn't possess the wit needed to pull the trick off. Sporadically amusing but too often pedestrian.
