Michelle Yeoh stars as a Chinese immigrant who owns a laundromat. Things suddenly become extremely weird when she and her hubby (Kw Huy Quan in a charming turn) go to the IRS (featuring Jamie Lee Curtis as a frumpy auditor). She ends up as various incarnations of herself in multiverses fighting to save the universe from destruction. Even though this description sounds like it may be a Marvel-based superhero adventure, it’s not. It’s a zany trip thru several realities with confusing connections. These sci-fi sections are crazy fun and the frenzied martial arts moments propel the film. However, there’s a lot of metaphysical mumbo jumbo that slows the momentum. There are also attempts at emotional family connections that don’t resonate. This is the 2^nd feature from Daniels, the directing duo whose 1^st film was Swiss Army Man (my review). An excerpt from that review applies to this film as well, “A highly-original and rollickingly-weird premise that gets bogged down with too much message.” (3.5 / 5)
