Movie Reviews of I Heart Huckabees
Movie Review: Ultimately, it's about compassion...
Summary: 5 Stars
Of course the cast is amazing, the soundtrack fantastic, the subject matter (philosophy/environment/relationships) important, and the script extremely smart. But this would just be another uber-clever show-off film without the tough and redemptive human interaction -- especially between Schwartzman's and Law's characters. When one character recognizes another's pain (and therefore, his humanity), he transcends himself. Compassion trumps whatever brand of self-righteousness we start out with, and I'm not sure what message could be more important (or timely) than that. Not that film has to always deliver a message, but when it does so in a package as artful and funny as this, well, I'm grateful for it.Movie Review: Thought-provoking and hilarious!
Summary: 5 Stars
Saw this film yesterday afternoon and had a blast. It is a bit wordy and the dialogue will more than likely go over the head of the average audience, but still this film should not be missed. Jason Schwartzman finally gives a performance in which I actually like him. Jude Law, as the antagonist corporate shill for Huckabees, passes a flawless "American" accent. The real stand-outs in this film, however, are Lily Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman as the Jaffes. Both have a sense of great timing and really add a bit of ridiculousness to the philosophies they are espousing. Kudos also to Talia Shire, in a hilariously foul-mouthed turn as Schwartzman's mom and Naomi Watts for those wacky Huckabees commercials.Movie Review: I love the huckabees
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was amazing. Before I ever watched the movie, my friends had told me about it, telling me to watch it. I simply put them aside deciding that the movie was going to be a waste of time. I was wrong! The plot of the movie blew my mind and was intense. From the main character who creates the coalition to stop the mega-chain Huckabees from expanding on to a swamp, to the "extesential" detectives, whose goal is to solve unmeaningful coincedences. The movie's plot is unpredictable and crazy. The whole movie makes you think while watching it, often making you second guess your feelings and thoughts. I feel that the movie may have been a little choppy though, but ohverall a great movie.
Movie Review: Don't be sad if you did not like this movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Be happy. Be happy that you can somehow manage to clear your head of all thought while looking at the movie screen. I wish I could do that. Sometimes I think so hard about a movie that my head hurts. Maybe when you watch a movie you like your head hurts from all the pretty explosions and non-stop action.
With that said, I loved this. It reminded me that the world can be looked at in many different ways and warned me to not look at life too optimistically or pessimistically. In a way it reminded me of Fight Club in that the main characters had to break down their preconceived notions of their motives in order to figure out what they really wanted from life.
Movie Review: definitely for a certain kind of viewer
Summary: 5 Stars
I was just glowing after seeing this movie and I definitely dropped about 30 bucks to buy this as soon as it came out, and I guess you could say it was well worth the money because I watch it so often. Jude Law and Mark Wahlberg are so funny in this! I will admit that it's very quirky and random; I would compare it's comedic and random aspects to The Science of Sleep, which I also loved, but it's style will not appeal everyone. But let me just say, its not about "getting" it or not; Jason Schwartzman and the 'detectives' lay it out almost too clearly in the last 10 minutes of the movie.
