Hazmat Paradox in `Allison



What happens when you go 90% of the way?
She'd be annoying to live with, and he'd be annoying to live with.  But despite Allison's clear frustrations with Jerry, and his obvious lack of responsiveness to her, not to mention their different style of living, we get the feeling that they're well-matched housemates.  The Hazmat may be construed as her suiting up for a toxic relationship.  But in this film, it is a parody of such misconstrual, I'd say.  A quirky film that I like, surprisingly enough.
