Malkovich, Malkovich,Malkovich, Malkovich.

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2018)

There's something so rare about 90s movies.
Cameron Diaz playing a homely, ditzy character.
John Cusak putting on a good performance.
Octavia Spencer with a 10 second scene.
An inexplicable Charlie Sheen cameo where he plays the typical Charlie Sheen character (to be fair, this time he was actually playing himself) and John Malkovich calling him "Charlie" as if their similar careers have made Charlie Sheen and John Malkovich such good friends.
But, this was fun. Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman show us an early preview of their creative innovation. This movie is so meta it certainly could have been released today in 2018.
I need more Catherine Keener in my life. Good acting meets a unique screenplay. I think if it's 20 minutes shorter and you cut the Dr. Lester story line, it's even better.
Malkovich, Malkovich. Malkovich. Malkovich, Malkovich, Malkovich.
If I could ask any screenwriter any question, asking Charlie Kaufman "Why John Malkovich?" has to be near the top of my list. One of the few films I wouldn't mind a sequel to, with a different person. Being Tom Cruise or Being Jennifer Lawrence definitely gets a watch from me.
Side note: If The End of the Tour is made 20 years earlier Cusak could definitely play David Foster Wallace.
