zappy

As replete with zappy flashbacks as an Alain Resnais production, “Top of the Heap” is stabilized by its fiercely alienated central performance.

A law banning political gatherings of more than five people means that parties will struggle to create and publicise policies zappy enough to entice voters.

Of course, it might be suitable for very young children, but even the littlest kids might sense that they've been offered smarter, zappier and frankly better films than this.
