So this one, 'Only the Names Have Been Changed to Protect the Animals,' is a curious little comedy from '91. It's got that offbeat vibe, you know? Jim Doyle, a social worker, dives into some truly bizarre cases that keep you chuckling and shaking your head. The pacing is a bit erratic, but I think that adds to its charm. You've got an 8-year-old with a pony in a high-rise and a guy with a hyena – just wild scenarios that feel like exaggerated truths about society's quirks. The performances are, well, a mixed bag, but they really lean into the absurdity of each situation. The practical effects are minimal, but they play into the overall weirdness – it’s distinctive in that way.
