Completely nonsensical but extremely funny, practically a scenario where Gilliam could unleash his visionary creativity. Depp and Del Toro are wildly eccentric; after all, the same Thompson/Raoul Duke was not exactly sane. Grotesque and hilarious characters and situations, along with an outstanding soundtrack (just to name a few: "Combination of the Two" by Big Brother at the beginning and end of the film, "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" - the latter used wonderfully - by Jefferson Airplane, and "Stuck Inside" by Dylan). Awesome.
