Expected more

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

I get the idea behind this movie and I must acknowledge few really ingenious dialogues and monologues, but overall, movie is almost completely unwatchable. It is satire so technically speaking it is comedy, but it is not funny or entertaining at all. It's just plain boring. It is obvious that movie is done by someone very smart who has many things to say, but who is at the same time so self-involved in own smartness that he made this movie understandable only to himself. Movie is unwatchable, both in story and in aspect of technical realization. It is extremely rare, but it happened - I gave up on this movie before the end. I did it just a few times in my life, gave up on single digit number of movies out of thousands I saw so far. But I could not force myself to see this through. This is one of those things that reminds me that life is too short to waste it on literally every crap I run into. I'm sorry to do this because I can tell that basic idea was awesome in authors had, but he terribly failed to make something good out of it. So I must rate it 1/10.

Schizopolis is piled with layers of amusement for the id, ego, and superego. People earn their liberal arts degrees in order to be able to watch and understand this film. Some of it is outright funny (like a man with no pants running around) or weird funny (e.g. an exterminator milkman that talks like the $10,000 Pyramid on Mars), but much of it you have got to get it to get it (not all of it, but some amount); this is, after all, satire and social commentary. So if postmodernism and the contemporary art section of your local museum is not your bag, then you are still probably in the target audience for Schizopolis, but it will likely be a miss. On the other hand, if you are a fan of the 90s era, Office Space and Short Cuts, then Schizopolis may just be your kind of movie.

Fletcher Munson, the lethargic employee of a pseudo-religious self help company, and his doppelganger, the friendly but dull dentist Dr. Jeffrey Korchek (both played by Steven Soderbergh).The film comparable in some ways to the earlier work of Richard Linklater (notably "Slacker"), mixed in with the visual sensibility of a Devo music video. I am not sure if this is experimental, or art house, or how you categorize something that has no real plot, and sometimes no real logic. There is a certain genius to it, though.I am not overly familiar with Soderbergh, probably having seen less than half of his feature films... but this one will definitely leave you with the impression that he is a genius, an eccentric and an artist. Whether or not this is true, I have no idea... but he wants us to think so.

IMDb mark: 4I sincerely wonder why Steven Soderbergh made this film. Could anyone really identify oneself with the deranged main character(s) from this film? Moreover, to snub people who aren't likely to enjoy this film, a guy says in the beginning something like "if you do not understand this film, it is your fault, not ours; you will have to see the film again". However, it's not the understanding I had problems with, although it is tough to figure everything out; the problem is I was yawning after 45 minutes, even though I had waken up just 5 hours before.-Humour: Well, you can spot a few comedy moments, but they are only funny in a weird, sad, twisted sort of way. Additional generic remark about the humour in said film. (!-you'll understand this sentence after you see the film-!) 6/25-Physical Comedy: It's not much better here, either. Many absurd situations arise and the consequences are absurd, too. And is that crazy guy who runs from the men in white supposed to be funny? 7/20-Plot: The plot is very twisted, too. Dr. Jeffrey Korchek, Fletcher Munson and his wife are all involved in an amorous triangle, and the other characters in the film influence their decisions and relationships. The film is divided into three parts, one for each of the three main characters. 11/15-Ending: The ending is not bad for this movie. I liked it. Of course, taste varies. 7/10-Theme: I couldn't come up with a theme for this movie, other than the well-known expression "It's a mad, mad world...". There are, probably, many possible interpretations for this artsy film. 2/10-Nudity: There is no nudity in this film. 0/8-Cast: Steven Soderbergh is the only well-known person who acts in 'Schizopolis'. 1/8-Genre: This tries to be a comedy. 3/4-->Overall: 37/100This is sort of interesting to watch once, I guess, perhaps just because it is so odd. But I seriously doubt whether one would like to watch it again. From Swordlord, 1 sword down!
