"Welcome to Me" is a Mobius strip of a trainwreck.  The film is a trainwreck... of a trainwreck.  Starring an extremely invested Kristen Wiig, the film is, to its credit, a bold character piece and black comedy that seeks to put a trainwreck of a person on display in an effort to preach larger moral questions.  As bold as it is in that intention, "Welcome to Me" doesn't achieve that and overshoots every landing possible.  It's that really well planned gag or stunt that can't match the real thing because it's been too manufactured to where the unpredictability is taken away or feels forced.  It's the second coming of "Dinner for Schmucks," in terms of cringe comedy, and that film was bad but at least funnier.
