Review of I ♥ Huckabees (2004) by Marko S — 01 Sep 2012

Ok, I saw it on the TV, and for the first 30 minutes I kept wondering what the fuck is going on. this is kinda monty python joke on the new age. the complicated plot is there to make this flick watchable during the exposion of all the new age shit, from existentialism to enviromentalism, and philosophy itself. and ofcourse, there is religion, political debate, success story, ascetism...

The cast is brilliant, playing their roles on their expected level. (and above, in the case of mark wahlberg.

But there's a catch: I think this movie has existence on its own, it doesn't communicate with the audience. it's comedy, but it's not actually funny, it's very consuming and needs a lot of concentration. it leaves the taste of one of those nights with good friends, lots of pot and every plan going down the toilette, while the friends are really into bullshiting about philosophy and the meaning of life. it is not that interesting if you are not in the same mental tune with them.
