Nation of Alien Clothing Accessories?

Warning: Spoilers
Hi, your name is Sam,

Never in, my life did I ever think that I would LOVE a humorously sentient handkerchief that reminds me a lot of Coach Steve from Big Mouth, probably because of the accent and the humor. This movie is AMAZING from the clean freak napkin turned on by cleaning up dirty messes to the nation of talking alien clothing accessories in space. The campy humor in this movie is right up my alley, from Woody acting like a baby saying "Uppies" as he gets folded to the weird siblings in the movie who are NOT so secretly seeing each other sexually. The actors in this movie were phenomenal, all of them playing their parts perfectly bringing out exactly how wacky the characters should be, especially Dr. Crane who committed to the fall (it must have hurt). This movie somewhat reminds me of Scary Movie with its horror-comedy type of style with jokes and horror around each corner.

As for the bad, feeling more attached and focused on the characters, instead of the plot making it forgettable. I felt like the neighbor was hyped up and I feel she could've played a bigger part in the movie, like she could've called for backup or done some investigating, instead, she's busy bringing infinite cookies out of the void. It also didn't make sense how more people started magically understanding the handkerchief, but I guess that's just a me problem.

Overall I can see the cultish nature of the film and can picture watching it with friends quoting various scenes from the movie. I would highly recommend this to my friends despite the movie's caveats. The indy style gives it a nice charm in my opinion and the shots tell the story the right way.
