Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

Oh, dear. Where do I start. I was ready to be entertained. One would have the reasonable expectation that when a movie has a fine cast, there would be some measure of entertainment to be had. Unfortunately, I was mistaken.I found I Heart Huckabees to be utterly dry and dull, and completely and utterly tedious. Incredibly unfunny. The dialogue was the opposite of witty or clever. There wasn't an interesting line in the movie. Poorly scripted. Incredibly unstimulating. I found it to be quite a badly made movie. I was very determined to see it through to the end in order to see if this dodgy movie redeemed itself in any way whatsoever. No, it didn't. What a dreadful balls-up of a film. There are bad movies, and then there are BAD movies. Some bad movies are so bad that they're actually good, such the Nicolas Cage version of The Wicker Man. That movie is so bad that it's hilarious. I Heart Huckabees is NOT like that. I Heart Huckabees is just plain bad. It should never have been made. One of the worst movies I've sat through in my life. The experience of watching it verged on painful. I'm going to donate the DVD to the charity shop. Or perhaps just throw it away so that I won't be responsible for making someone else watch that awful movie.

I decided three quarters of the way through this movie that I was going to review it. I also decided that I wasn't gong to read anyone else's reviews before I did. Half way through and I was already mentally punishing myself for not having a guaranteed definition of what was going on. Being a Sociology graduate I felt like I was letting myself down by not having a concrete definition. I decided to write the review when it clicked; this movie is entirely based on the confusion I felt, and the malleable concept of the existential thought process that fueled it. If you are to consider such a thing as existentialism, then you must first accept that your consideration will be either utterly pointless, or infinitely meaningful given the universal pointlessness of the world that it exists within. Which really brings you to the crux of the matter...or not. Two sides of the same coin land edgewise up and gently ridicule the very concept of flipping it in the first place, and the idea that there can be two conflicting arguments within such an ideology becomes absurd. We are all connected so everything matters, or we are all disconnected so nothing does, which means that if nothing matters, then everything does, and if everything matters, then nothing does. As I walked around my house after watching it, I found myself in a positive state of mind, and I felt a new fondness for my surroundings that had been absent for a few months. I have no conscious idea why this was the case, but if a movie can have that effect on you, then something's gone right.

First I'll say, so you can relate/hate my mind, I've turned a few movies into memory-wheel-building-blocks for this life...Amélie, Big Lebowski, Big Fish, Earthlings.But out of that list, I would still rather watch this movie. I've read some hate it because it's preaching to the choir, being strange on purpose, leaning on the fact it's fictional and amazingly enough, some even say it's not funny.Some films/music/writings/art grown on you. Some you liked at first and somehow IT STILL DID THIS. That is this film for me.It's my Velvet and Underground and Nico, and if you don't hear the comedy/tragedy in that album, I'm guessing you won't hear it here either.

This film made me laugh, I'll say that first. However, I can't say I was a huge fan of the movie as a whole. Individual scenes, like the dinner scene with the African boy, were funny to watch, but the movie felt like it was rambling at times. The existentialist speech was laid on too heavy, particularly at the beginning of the movie, which I found confusing. This may have been the intent, but it did not help the movie in my opinion. Schwartzman was really good in this movie and I found Mark Wahlberg surprising funny as well as the biking fire fighter. Performances were what drove this movie for me. I also enjoyed the bit parts for the then up and coming Jonah Hill and Isla Fisher. I'd say check this film out
