Don't dig too deep, this is a really a FUN movie!

Rating: 9/10 (15 April 2004)

Most reviews here try to dig too deeply into this movie. It is supposed to be fun. "Funny", "wildly imaginative", and "highly original" are the best ways to describe it. If you're looking for the meaning of life, you will be disappointed. If you're looking for an off-beat comedy with great dialogue and acting, and something truly "weird", then this is the movie for you! John Cusack's boss is hysterical! And his secretary is outrageous! Malkovich shows some real backbone allowing himself to be made fun of like this. He's perfect in this movie. And Cusack is great too. Both he and Diaz have some great comedic talent, and great facial expressions. This is the most original, and flat-out weird, movie I've ever seen, and I mean that all in the best way possible!
I think too many people are looking at the weirdness and originality of this movie and thinking that it must have some deeper meaning that doesn't make sense to them. Well, it really doesn't have any deeper meaning, and those people are disappointed. I watched this movie having no idea what it was about, and as I watched it, all I thought was "This is so weird, but it's so funny."
Watch this movie for the purpose of pure entertainment, and set your expectations correctly beforehand. You won't be disappointed!
9 out of 10 stars.
