Spoiler Warning! This film was filled with clichés plot lines and events - with predictable outcomes from cartoon characters who are supposed to represent the four emotions: happiness, pleasure, sorrow and love. The author tries to be clever and have the characters experience events almost opposite of their stated emotion. Love is Love lost, Happiness is a tragic end, Pleasure is a tortured soul, and Sorrow is the lucky escape from a terrible situation ( which I wouldn't expect to last long in any case). I know the plot is supposed to "challenge" the audience, but creating a totally obvious twist does not a twist make. Trying to make an Altman like Puzzle Piece plot where the separate stories all combine in the end was over-the-top contrived in this film. I couldn't believe the film stooping so low as to introduce snakes and the clichés scene of a person hanging off a building with one hand while holding another person from falling to their death. The film has the entertainment of cheap pulp fiction - so it's not totally bad.
