To be honest the Wiki quote is right that Sam ties the stories together but as you watch it, for example we see Dylan Baker with the greedy kid on the porch then it cuts to the werewolf girls trying costumes on, back to Baker and the kid, it doesn't play like here's a link, then a fifteen minute story, then back to a link. When it wants to move things along a comic book page appears and says something like 'Earlier that evening'. |
I thought the section from Wikipedia was more concise than anything I could write at the time to explain why I consider it a portmanteau/anthology film. I can't remember the exact way the stories play out, but remember thinking it was a film with distinct stories linked by one character who appears in all of them. That separates it from movies with non-linear narratives like 21 Grams.
