Funny little blue man....

The little blue man is hilarious. The design of the mascot, who is the centerpiece of the film, is flawless in its visual statement of generic corporate symbols. The film is very funny and the performances are good. There are times when characters like the one played by Teri Garr, could've been more developed and not as random and cruel.

The 'beer can scene' is hilarious and shows the true comic talent of Prendergast. Kudrow does a fine job of being very angry and depressed, almost too much.

But the highlight is the little blue man. If the director doesn't market that costume for Halloween, he's making a big mistake.
