When Pigs Fly is a quirky mix of comedy and fantasy that does some interesting things with its characters. You’ve got this unwed jazz musician and a bar dancer, both struggling under the weight of their misfortunes. The twist? They’re helped by the ghosts of a middle-aged woman and a little girl, which adds a whimsical layer to the storytelling. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it fits the offbeat vibe. The performances are earnest, especially from the leads, who navigate their challenges with a mix of humor and heart. And the practical effects are charmingly low-fi, giving it a unique look that sets it apart from other films of its time. It’s not your typical feel-good flick, but there’s something oddly engaging about it.
