This bears a definite resemblance to Wes Anderson's more energetic and imaginative films. If you liked "Rushmore" or "The Life Aquatic", you'll dig this. (Conversely I suppose that if you didn't, you won't). But it doesn't just imitate; it takes further.
I did. It's genuinely funny and inventive, not only in the writing but also in the filmmaking technique. This was written and directed by Richard Ayoade, a character actor whom you might have seen doing some deadpan nerd characters in UK and US films; he shows a very large talent here.
