Why John Malkovich?

Rating: 6/10 (14 May 2001)

If you haven't seen Being John Malkovich and you are under the impression that this film is going to be completly weird you might be a little dissapointed when you watch this. Ok it is strange but in a silly way not in an arty way which is sad. Why John Malkovich agreed to star in this or even let the film go ahead is a mystery to me. Now if the film was called" Being Bradd Pitt" or "Being Madonna" in other words more interesting people this might have been better. There are some good parts of the film,the first half hour for instance when he first goes to his place of work , the seventh and half floor, it has you gripped and is funny in part but ,like the portal in craig's office it goes down hill from there. 6 out of 10.
