I admire the idea and creativity of this movie. However, this movie seems a little ambitious for what they were able to pull off. The film comes off as low budget and more tv quality than movie. The film is often confusing and doesn't make much sense until the end. Reynolds d...( read more)

"Um, I'm kind of having a medical situation. I don't have a belly button."
The director, John August, has worked together with one of my ultimate favourite directors, Tim Burton, so I thought that this could actually be interesting. Well, prepare yourself for a huge disappointme...( read more) -

This would have been better left in dreamland logic. I kept telling myself I wanted some kind of explanation, but when it came I was disappointed. Good movie though. Charlie Kaufman meets David Lynch.

Odd but entertaining with Ryan Reynolds doing an excellent job of playing three roles that may or not may not be connected to each other.
It's a rather convoluted plot that has a rather underwhelming resolution yet somehow it seems to work.
At least it did for me. -

Reynolds exceeds the expectations. Weirdly beautiful in its akwardness.

This movie annoyed me. Yeah I guess it made sense at the end (and I think there were probably some parts that intentionally didn't make sense that they threw in there just to be cute, or better yet, to ensure that other parts did make sense to us, which practice the movie itself,...( read more)

Dissapointment isn't a great enough term, to express the hieght and lenght of my lament, is. I choose "A Total let-Down, inside a promising storyline and conecpt, that never fully expresses itself."

Very interesting movie. It was a combination of quirky, musical madness. I think someone may have been in a hurry when making this however. The ending was a bit campy and it lost me.
Critic Reviews
This fascinating puzzle box of a movie is so clever it almost feels like a stunt - an attempt to keep so many balls in the air that you marvel at the filmmaker's technical facility. full review
The sharpest, subtlest satire of a California stereotype since Evan Rachel Woods'... in the too-little-seen Pretty Persuasion. full review

December 19, 2008Great movie! At the beginning you really do not know where the movie is headed but that was the fun part to me. I love the way it was brought all together at the end. I saw Ryan Reynolds from a different angle in this film. I had gotten used to the "Just Friends" Ryan Reynolds but this film made me truly appreciate his skill.

August 30, 2007I have to admit, I'm getting a bit annoyed at any halfway intelligent movie getting tossed into limited release. Here's hoping this actually makes it out into my neck of the woods sometime before the dvd.
