    Edit: actually, I need to edit something. The reason the style is so over-the-top is not just because we are seeing Jude Laws characters written interpretation of it, we are seeing his book as interpreted by a teenaged girls view of it.

Yes, this is what it seemed like to me. How can anyone accurately imagine a world so far removed from their own? It will of course be exaggerated, dramatized and of course the imagination will turn it into a kind of cartoon. I mean, why else would Agatha be so important to the plot and then disappear so quickly?
