You won't be disappointed!

Undescribable Perfection

Really Surprised!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

When his journal of bright ideas is stolen, college freshman Bickford Schmeckler (Fugit) has to blanket the campus in order to locate it.Boring slow movie.You won't care one bit about anyone in the film.And you'll care less about the story.The only good thing is that it's only a hour and 15 minutes.But the other side of that is it feels like 10 hours.It's moronic and idiotic.In short, it's a monumental fail.Sort of like boiled meat.

"You killed her? No! How?! With a butcher's knife?!"Disaffected college student Bickford Shmeckler (Patrick Fugit) has filled a book with his cool and revolutionary ideas about reality. One night at a party, beautiful kleptomaniac Sarah (Olivia Wilde) stumbles into his room, and makes off with his book of ideas. Over the next few days, Bickford frantically tries to track the book back down, while reading it has a huge affect on the lives of Sarah, an entire Dungeons and Dragons club, a horny cosmology professor, and a group of homeless nuts led by a man named Spaceman. Yes, the movie really is that random. The most random and peculiar indie comedy that I've seen in a while.   As you can tell from the description, this is a pretty weird movie. It's low-budget, for sure. Lots of obscure tunes from college radio on the soundtrack, and lots of "alternative" humor. I found the attempts at humor to be more bemusing, than anything else. I only recall laughing out loud once (thanks to a few cameos from Reno 911! and a rape joke that came out of nowhere). If the idea of a book giving women brain orgasms sounds funny to you, then you'll be right at home, here. I don't really think I can recommend that anyone who's not a massive Olivia Wilde or Patrick Fugit fan go out of their way to catch this one. The movie takes a turn for the dramatic at the end that doesn't fit well with anything that came before, and the entire script just seems like it could have used a lot more development.

I found the movie highly peculiar. I think it pretty much sums up what people search for in life. We search for answers. In the movie we see a guy who has found all the answers, and he "claims" to be happy with the discovery, but we see it very well that he is the most miserable person on earth. But he has those answers that blow everyones mind, so... he has to know something.And than he figures it all out! Major spoiler people: there is NO theory!... The only thing you can do in your life is to enjoy it. I think thats what the movie tries to tell us. That despite of finding out the answers to all questions about being, Bickford was in pain. And when he found out he doesn't have to find out anything: he was truly happy, for the first time. Sex is not the answer, its just symbolizing joy, unconditional happiness. So thats why the movie makes sense.I gave it an 8 because despite how great its philosophy was, it wasn't really.. "fun", and Im not saying I missed funny things from it. It just lacks the things I would want from a movie to make me give it a 9 or a 10. But I loved Patrick Fugit in it, and Olivia Wilde was also remarkable, she is adorably crazy, and Fran Kranz is one of my favorite actors so it was nice to see him in the movie.

I loved this movie. Although my opinion is biased on the fact that I adore Patrick Fugit and would be pleased with anything he was cast in. I was greatly impressed by Olivia Wilde's performance on the big screen, as I had only seen her on a few episodes of The O.C. I found the theories in 'The Book' itself to be 'brain-gasmic' and quite thoughtful. Surly something I, myself, would have wanted to read if there were such a book published.I gave the movie and overall 8 because, although I was excited to see Patrick, the plot was slow and I wasn't quite satisfied with the ending of the film.
