Pretty Good

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Fine almost-psychedelic-oriented comedy about romance, struggles in art work and just loosing your mind (and finding it back). The meaning of the word tells it all. Dorff offers a great performance. U2's performances in the movie are in the right spots and at the right time. Very experimental yet great results. Entropy is a must for people who like the first stages of Tarantino, the visual experimentation of Olver Stone and the hilarity of Woody Allen (strange but rather great mix!).I find it mind blowing that the plot begins with the narrator in an awful shape explaining the story and then gets to meet his own character and the movie goes on! The ending leaves you with a melancholic feeling because all us who are still attached to this world have experienced the "Entropy" after an intense experience what ever it was. See you in the journey to forever!

What a great film... I honestly think this film, like many others about making movies, is misunderstood, and more importantly unappreciated by the non-film biz audience. This one in particular because it really is more about what it's like to be a young, up and coming director, than about making a movie.I can personally relate to a lot of this film, which is probably why I love it so much.In all honesty, though I really like the somewhat exaggerated tone and style of the piece, it is probably the most accurate and honest representation of what young, first-time directors actually go through on a daily basis.From what I know of Phil Joanou, being a big fan of his work, this was a very personal and autobiographical project for him.I personally like to see films that are personal to the filmmaker because they have more of a sense of reality and passion to them. Actually going through events in your life, and then being able to make films about them is truly the greatest gift that can be given to the filmmaker...Bravo Phil, you have made a really great film. It's funny, intelligent, artistic, insightful, and just plain well done. Keep 'em coming.

The director of U2's Rattle and Hum video, makes a great effort at a semi-autobiographical story. I'm not sure how much is from Phil Jouano's real life, but the impression is that Jake Walsh (dorff) is Juoanu. I liked this film so much, I added it to my personal collection, and watch it with friends often. Though it wasn't a big hit, it gets my vote as a short time in the life of a movie director in a rock and roll lifestyle spiraling down kind of thing. Good soundtrack too. But the talking cat is what made the movie for me. Any movie with a talking and smoking cat rules!!

I love Steven Dorff, I love U2, and I love this movie! The camera work, the dialogue and the cinematography all make me wish I could write half this well. Joanou has really struck cinematic gold with this one, I can't imagine why it didn't do better at the box office. Independents, go figure.
