1. everybody have a light-hearted chuckle at mental illness (with elton john music!)
2. everybody take a serious, depressing look at mental illness (with serious, movie score-type music...it's serious!)
3. repeat (throw in some edgy, irreverent jokes about poop and jacking off!)

what an idiotic fucking movie.
