I Heart Huckabees Review |
by David N. Butterworth (Rating: 2.5/4) |
Lovers (hearters?) of David O. Russell, the unconventional writer/director
of "Three Kings," "Flirting with Disaster," and "Spanking the Monkey," have
learned to embrace wackiness as part of the filmmaker’s cinematic oeuvre, but
wacky doesn’t even...more |

Susan Granger's review of "I Heart Huckabees" (Fox Searchlight Pictures)
So what's an existentialist comedy? Basically, it's a silly, irreverent,
chaotic metaphysical farce about what it means to be alive.
Environmental activist Albert...more |

I Heart Huckabees Review |
by Steve Rhodes (Rating: 1/4) |
Painfully unfunny, I HEART HUCKABEES is a ridiculous mess of a movie by David
O. Russell. After his nearly universally acclaimed success with THREE KINGS,
this pathetic picture will come as a real disappointment to his fans. more |

And yet how can you not embrace a picture that offers Lily Tomlin and
Dustin Hoffman as a husband-and-wife team of existential detectives? One that
pits them against their former disciple turned nihilist author, Isabelle
Huppert? A movie in which...more |

I Heart Huckabees Review |
by Jon Popick |
David O. Russell's follow-up to Three Kings reminded me a lot of Punch Drunk
Love right off the bat, but I think that had more to do with Jon Brion's
score and the early scene in which protagonist Albert Markovski (Jason
Schwartzman) struggles to find...more |

CAPSULE: This weird comedic fantasy lampoons pop
philosophy and everything else within reach but
wastes the talents of Dustin Hoffman. Rating:
low +2 (-4 to +4) or 7/10 more |
I Heart Huckabees Review |
by Liam Cullin (Rating: 7.5/10) |
I like quirky movies. Original/unconventional ideas put on film in an
interesting way with an equally as interesting cast. A good example? The Royal
Tenenbaums comes to mind. Election is another. Now I can add I Heart Huckabees
to that list. It's...more |
I Heart Huckabees Review |

This is the show which is actually so bad that Steven Spielberg
wouldn't allow his name to appear in the credits; keep in mind that he
*did* have his name on "SeaQuest DSV." more |
