The 100 Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared is gleefully amoral, never more so than when ruminating on how families are formed.

... (a) quirky, whimsical life-spanning comedy...

Herngren's hyper-plotty story goes from testing credulity to utterly insulting it, as incident piles on to incident in an ever-escalating cascade of you-won't-believe-what-happens-nexts.

Superficially colorful, but a dark comedy at heart.

Surreal and very silly.

There's a strange, almost perverse lesson here about a well-lived life, how Allan manages to move through life without regret or fear. He's crossed every item off his bucket list - and then blown up the bucket.

"The 100-Year-Old-Man" is wonderfully inventive, silly fun.
July 14, 2015
It sets itself up as satire but then has nothing much to say.
May 14, 2015
Eccentric, wry and highly entertaining.

This peripatetic farce practically propels itself.

It's never explained what Allan's mental state is, other than lovable geriatric rascal-itis, an irritating trope that hardly constitutes a certifiable condition.

It seems destined for a Hollywood remake, which is likely to be more polished but not nearly as weirdly charming.
