So many of you are knowledgeable about film, and expressed interest in the idea. This pick (from Frownland!) is an interesting choice (it's Frownland after all!). A film I know nothing about, but with a plot summary that instantly piques my interest.

'A tone-deaf cop works to track down a group of guerilla percussionists whose anarchic public performances are terrorizing the city.'

It never achieves much coherence when it tries for more than slapstick comedy.
