The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle

A computer programmer experiencing a crisis of faith unwittingly becomes the subject of a bizarre experiment that yields unexpected consequences in this innovative, character-driven comedy punctuated by imaginative animation. Laid off from his job as a computer programmer while locked in the midst of a spiritual crisis, Dory trades in his suit and tie for a janitor’s uniform and goes to work cleaning toilets with a misfit troupe of custodial engineers. It’s there that Dory becomes the subject of a strange experiment involving highly addictive cookies that warm in your mouth while being eaten, effectively simulating that “oven fresh” taste. But these cookies have some particularly strange side effects, including surreal hallucinations, spectacular mood swings, and, ultimately, quasi-pregnancies in the male janitorial staff. As the men carry their pregnancies to term, they band together as midwives to support one another while each delivers a tiny, radiant, immaculately conceived blue fish. —allmovieguide
