Lemon in 150 Words or Less

.
I could say that I'm glad I watched Lemon for the Matzo Ball Scene scene alone (and as a branching off of that everything Shiri Appleby touches in her deliriously hyper performance as the main character's pregnant sister) but that'd be too ungenerous to the movie, which I fore-see sticking around my brain kind of like a parasite for quite awhile. If you had the patience of a sloth circle jerk you could even double-feature this one with The Greasy Strangler (just call it a Elizabeth De Razzo Night) and really fuck up your consciousness in a probably irreparable way. I say that with affection. Lemon's got the vibe of Fassbinder On Goofballs - if you slapped a laugh-track over The Merchant of Four Seasons maybe? Anyway it's often very funny and funnily off-putting all at once.
