Sick and NOT funny

Rating: 4/10 (21 November 2001)

I had heard a lot of good things about this movie and was looking forward to seeing it, but it was a huge disappointment.
First of all, it's supposed to be a comedy but I don't think I've laughed once, maybe I smiled a couple of times. In this movie, it's supposed to be funny that an office building has a seven-and-a-halfed floor, that an apartment is filled with animals (hello, Ace Ventura anyone?) and that nobody seems to know what parts John Malkovich played.
As for the acting, John Cusack is terrible, John Malkovich hardly gets a chance to act and for some obscure reason Cameron Diaz is made almost unrecognizable with a very ugly hairdress and a very boring part.
The story is original, yes, but it's also completely sick and confusing, involving a woman having a 'lesbian' relationship with another woman who is inside John Malkovich's head, John Cusack locking up his girlfriend, a sick guy that survives by getting inside other people's heads etc.

Maybe this review is a little confusing, but so was the movie and I really don't know what else to say about it except for the fact that it's very bad.
