Movie Reviews of I Heart Huckabees
Movie Review: You gotta shop at Huckabees!
Summary: 5 Stars
Crude language, Wild philosophy taken to an extreme. The attitudes and language are what makes this movie rated R. Even though it may seem like all fun and games, and you may not want to say otherwise, you know it's more than that. Looking at the title, it sounds like it could be another comedic happy go lucky film. Right about the comedic part, but so wrong on everything else. There are hearts broken in ways you wouldn't have imagined, two Huckabee models and "everything else Huckabees." Jason Schartzman plays the main character, and I found out that he's the drummer in Phantom Planet, a great pop band! (I hear he's arrogant though, and this fact only would enhance it.) Dustin Hoffman and Jude Law are in it. Mark Wahlberg is truly convincing in this one. If you like South Park, Daria, or any kind of toilet humor, this movie may just be for you.Movie Review: Ranks with "Being John Malkovich" for weirdness.
Summary: 5 Stars
At least that's what I think. This movie is really quirky, and I love the performances of Mark Wahlberg as the fireman Tommy Corn, Naomi Watts as the Huckabees (Fu**abees!) model Dawn Campbell ("Looks like an Amish bag lady") and Jude Law as Brad Stand. Jason Schwartzman as the metaphysically troubled Albert Markovski, really delivers in his quest for answers to his existence.
The interaction between Dustin Hoffman, Lily Tomlin (the Existential Detectives) and their patients is marvelous. The snappy dialogue is really amazing; especially when you think about the timing involved to make the scenes funny. All the actors are on top of their game. Great "existential" comedy - ethereally speaking. I never tire of this movie. Shania Twain makes a short but funny cameo appearance (has to do with an ongoing joke).
Movie Review: A genuine work of genius
Summary: 5 Stars
Most people are going to be unwilling to let go of what's safe and familiar, to go for this amazing ride, but those who do will be richly rewarded. This is the kind of smart, ballsy writing that Hollywood is sadly missing these days. If you're looking for a formula, if you're looking for an easily recognizable genre, if you're looking for passive movie-going with bland but pretty faces, you'll hate this. If instead you want to be thrilled, challenged, engaged, assaulted, and delighted, give it a shot. It is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen, one of the most surprising, and one of the most thoughtful, provocative pieces of filmmaking I've seen in a very long time. And the best part -- there really is some pretty profound stuff in all the crazy philosophizing going on here...Movie Review: Fun beginners glimpse on Quantum Mechanics/ Physics
Summary: 5 Stars
This can be purchased and come with or without bonus features. YOU WANT THE VERSION WITH BONUS FEATURES! They are so worth it. Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin interview different quantum physics scientists in character and I can't tell you any more without spoiling the whole thing. I actually saw the version first at the video store and begged Roch to get it for me for Xmas and so he did but for some reason the released a second DVD without said Bonus Features and were so disappointed we sold it on eBay to get the version we wanted. We finally have it now and was well worth the wait!
The movie itself was so much fun to watch and love popping it in to watch any time. Very funny and a great plot if you can say there is really a plot to a time line of random events.
Movie Review: Delightfully quirky look into the meaning of life.
Summary: 5 Stars
I Heart Huckabees is an intelligent and funny look into the classic types of angst we all feel in our modern world. It weaves thoughtful and relevant commentary out of screw-ball plot tools and delightfully quirky characters. It touches on heady issues like universal interconnectedness and the meaning of life, but stays relevant and entertaining because we can easily identify with its characters and their down-to-Earth problems. The movie's humour is often subtle, built on slapstick laid over sociopolitical dialogue with bull's-eye acuity, and that's certainly not everyone's cup of tea. As for me, I often found myself laughing my head off whilst half-cringing at the nature of the human condition. In the end, it's a heartwarming movie.
