.....Bizzare!!!

Rating: Null/10 (15 November 2001)

I really don't know where to start.
Craig Schwartz is an out-of-work pupeteer who finds a job working on the 7 1/2th floor of a skyscraper. Whilst retreiving a fallen file from behind a cabinet, he's amazed to find a tunnel. The tunnel allows anyone who enters to see, hear, and in all senses, feel what it is like to be John Malkovich for roughly a few minutes before being spat out just above the New Jersey turnpike.
Obviously, it's a LOT more complicated than that (!), what with co-worker Maxine becoming Craig's love interest before eventually becoming Lotte's love interst also (After experiencing being Malkovich, Lotte comes to the conclusion that she is a man trapped in a womans body), and the whole concept on trying to capitalise on such a discovery - you realise quickly that this film will abandon any kind of sane plot very early on.
The film is great up until around halfway through, where the underlying theme of craziness gets replaced by a more desperate kind. After having seen it both at the cinema and on DVD, I feel that the two senses jar uncomfortably.
However, the film is packed full of hilarious sketches (including the history of the 7 1/2th floor induction video) and well worth the price of a rental.
