Of course the cast is amazing, the soundtrack fantastic, the subject matter (philosophy/environment/relationships) important, and the script extremely smart. But this would just be another uber-clever show-off film without the tough and redemptive human interaction -- especially between Schwartzman's and Law's characters. When one character recognizes another's pain (and therefore, his humanity), he transcends himself. Compassion trumps whatever brand of self-righteousness we start out with, and I'm not sure what message could be more important (or timely) than that. Not that film has to always deliver a message, but when it does so in a package as artful and funny as this, well, I'm grateful for it.

I Heart Huckabees manages to both completely make fun of and explore the "big questions." Brilliant direction and conception top off the solid performances by the cast. While I would imagine that the general public might not "get" it, anyone who has ever studied philosphy (and enjoyed it) or who has read self-help books or been to therapy will certainly get a kick out of it.

Since I liked Adaptation and Being John Malkovich, I was interested in seeing this movie. But whereas those movies had real wit and depth, I 'heart' Huckabees just seemed like it was playing games with the viewer and was simply quirky without anyting really interesting to say. Since some viewers rate this an all-timer, there must be something to "get"......I just didn't.

I "heart" Huckabees is in the vein of screwy, thinking man's comedies of recent years. It's about a frustrated activist and idealist who can't even keep control of his group from a friendlier corporate figure that co opts them... and it's about his struggle at the same time with the meaning of life. This character, Albert, also connects with a "existential" detective agency by accident... these people are like life coaches except they take it much farther in trying to get him to achieve Buddhist like enlightenment. They're played delightfully by Lily Tomlin, and Dustin Hoffman in a wig that's in my opinion one of the funniest parts of the movie.
While it's an admirable try to pull off a thinking man's comedy, if you've seen a Wes Anderson movie it's a lot harder to get into. This "surreal" comic reality just doesn't bend surreal enough or real enough... it doesn't find a believable space of it's own you can just let go and enjoy. Stylistically, where something like The Royal Tennenbaums is both relentlessly charming and emotional.. Huckabees isn't really either. It's just trying to get through all the "meaning of life" jazz and philosophy to the point the movie has no place to go with the characters but that. I see it more as pre-Freshman entry into the genre than a real contender. If the Director would calm down and take his time to develop style in addition to just a message, I think he can make killer smart comedies however.

This is a very funny, very interesting movie. There is no other movie quite like it. It's one of my absolute favorites. You'll especially like it if you're into philosophy.
