It's all downhill from here

I "heart" Huckabees

Wow, I just got back from seeing this (Dustin Hoffman, Mark Wahlberg, etc...) and I am actually nauseous. It's like a bunch of actors got together without a script and decided to ad-lib for two hours about the first thing that popped into their minds.

And no one was allowed to tell anyone else what they were talking about.

Or maybe like every one was given completely different scripts for completely different movies, and challenged to mesh it all together in a comprehensible manner.

The most random, dissconnected, uninteresting mess to ever call itself a movie.

I liked it, and while I agree that the script could have been a little better, you either didn't understand the movie for what it was, or are just way, WAY too picky in your tastes. It wasn't that bad, it made sense, and the acting was brilliant.

I enjoyed it, maybe it wasn't as great as it could have been, but I thought it was funny, particularly Mark Wahlberg's character, the scene at the dinner table was hilarious. What I really appreciated was that it was different, I can't stand seeing the same old thing at the theatre.

I, too, thought this was one of the best scenes in the movie. I enjoyed this movie very much. I'd give it 3.5 out of 4 stars.

i actually thought the movie was tight and concise. am i retarded? no. if the main bond holding the movie together was just the outrageous sense of humor that pervades every scene, the characters acting like children oblivious to the adult world, it would be a great success. but i think the story was very interesting. the changes and epiphanies experienced by the characters do fall into the land of the ineffable but despite the absurdity of EVERY situation in the movie, i found the story very involving. i can't even comprehend where you are coming from docbungle, that you would think this was a random mess. when the world vision is complete (which is perhaps giving i heart etc. too much credit) then anything that happens in that world is strictly connected to it. jesus, i just realized i'm saying "the blanket is the blanket and we're all connected" or whatever.
my main gripe would be the "wll, that's that" ending. but considering the plethora of atrocious films being exhibited like a mongoloid freakshow throughout the theaters of america, idiosyncratic gems like i heart etc. should be supported and applauded.
