I liked it. It came together nicely in the end. I was expecting it to rain frogs or something but that didn't happen.

Very interesting movie. I watched it on the way to London on a tiny little screen in the back of the seat in front of me. I especially liked the twin brother who was a screenwriter as well. Although I think the ending really kinda zigged out of no where.

I really enjoyed this film up until the mad chase scene at the end. I wish he had found some other way to end it. Still, really bad ending aside, it was a well directed and very well acted film.

Strange film. I dug it...mostly because 'Being John Malkovich' rocked... it was definately meandering, but I think I sorta understood at some point! I think this movie really just wins on the acting..

Something about this movie really pissed me off.

Yes, most screenwriters have no integrity and choose the easy way out/chase scene/stupid hollywood ending rather than developing their characters and forcing the audience to accept an ending closer to what would happen in real life. So what, does that mean you can make a movie that winds up being very unentertaining in order to make that point?

Seems very much like a Hollywood vanity project thing to me, the elite patting themselves on the back, as it were.

But then, maybe I'm just being a bitch and it was just supposed to be funny.

No, no, just the same writer/director, not like Being John Malkovich...
