Silly movie

Rating: 6/10 (21 March 2011)

The plot of this movie is just plain silly, though the stars and the production quality make it a watchable kind of silly if that's what you're in the mood for.
Philip K. Dick has written some genuinely intriguing stories made into movies (Blade Runner, Minority Report), but this isn't one of them. In the Hollywood version, it has some trite metaphysics to distract from the banality of the romance. The script and the sight gags display enough wit to further mask the fact that this is ultimately a very unsatisfying "toying" with the mind. Since most of the comments seem to be positive, I suppose that those whose votes are weighing down the average simply aren't taking the time to articulate their disapproval.
