This was a great, zany movie that was a lot of fun. A part of the tension comes from knowing that Heath Ledger died during the shooting of the movie, and there were some meta-level things going on there for a brief scene that I have to wonder whether or not were in the original script where they nod their head to people who die young.
Actually, they do have a pretty good method of seamlessly addressing how Ledger is not in parts of the movie though, and so the movie still works. Not as good as Time Bandits, but better than some of Terry G's other movies.
Deals with a Faustian trope (deal with the devil) in a creative and cool way. Lots of magical realism here though the ending was a little bit of a let down.
