- An enjoyable film
This is a film you need to just watch and know nothing about to truly enjoy. I will try not to ruin it for you if you have not seen it. I originally just put it on for background noise, and then I found myself watching it. I really enjoyed this movie.

The cast is of this movie is amazing. Tomlin, Hoffman and Law deliver excellent performances. But the true star of this film has to be Jason Schwartzman. His acting is above par. And I must admit I enjoyed watching Mark Wahlberg having to act. A well done to all the actors in this project.

This is defiantly not a mainstream film, so be prepared. The movie has Schwartzman's character who is afflicted with human emotions higher an unusual team of detectives to find clues ... Read More:

- A major player in the 90s golden age
David O Russell first made his name with Spanking The Monkey at Sundance in 1994. The film was made for $80,000, starred Jeremy Davies and catapulted the director into the spotlight. Forever the subversive, David O Russell has never seemed to compromise his vision for the films he directs. Three Kings is one clear example - a Hollywood action movie that questions the reasons why America is at war. Stories abound of his fist fight with George Clooney on the set. In I Heart Huckabees he seems to have had an explosive row with Lily Tomlin (see YouTube for extracts.)

This refusal to kowtow to others is a strong trait among the great directors (e.g. Hitchcock, Ford, Herzog, Kurosawa etc) Whether O Russell is yet in that league is too early ... Read More:

- life-affirming
I found this film to be one of the most interesting and well executed films i have seen. although i tend to go for films with a darker humour or message, i found the vague sprawling philosophys and ideas to be peaceful and magical, helped along by brilliant direction, perfectly suited music and subtle, warm perfomances.
Dustin Hoffman, although not playing one of his more memorable roles, still gives us an excellent performance, and his mere being there in the film is an indicator of this films understated quality, and Jude Law gives a first rate performance as the o-so-wholesome Brad, turning my conception of him as a serious talent 180 degrees.
I can see that people may view this film as an all style no substance piece, as it doesnt have ... Read More:

- What were they thinking?
Every once in awhile, a film is released that causes one to wonder what the studio's movers and shakers were thinking when they decided to invest time and money in the production. Was it a slow day or the oxygen level just too low?

The plot of I HEART HUCKABEES is too incoherent to be easily summarized. Let's just say that environmental activist Albert Markovski (Jason Schwartzman), bothered by some unexplainable coincidences in his life, seeks the help of two Existential Detectives, Bernard Jaffe (Dustin Hoffman) and his wife Vivian (Lily Tomlin). Eventually drawn into the investigation are Brad Strand (Jude Law), an up-and-coming executive with the Huckabees super store chain, Strand's lover Dawn (Naomi Watts), the Huckabees glamorous spokesmodel, ...

- an existential rollercoaster!
At the start of the story we are introduced to Albert Markovski (Jason Schwartzman, who starred in the movie Rushmore) who is desperately trying to stand for something, in an effort to inject meaning and purpose into his otherwise dissapointing life. By accident he meets a husband and wife team of Existential Detectives (played brilliantly by Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin), who immediately and aggressively start helping him unravel his life. Hilarity and unexpected plot twists ensue. A mysterious and seductive competing Existential Detective (presumably from the Dark Side of Existential Detecting) threatens to throw a wrench in Albert's search for himself. And somehow Shania Twain gets mixed up in the mess.

This movie is filled with wonderful quotes ... Read More:
