Title: Stunningly original and the first half-hour is priceless
Product review: I think John Cusack said it best when he said, "This is a screenplay that no one could have written, thinking it would ever be made". It's that original and off-beat. I'm so glad it was also successful since it may open doors to some other off-the-wall ideas that might not seem commercial enough otherwise. This movie is very well-acted the whole way through and the plot is so fresh, you find yourself wondering how anyone ever thought of it in the first place. Cheers to the brave cast who took all this on and to writer Charlie Kaufmann whose unique vision deserves more recognition. The film lost a bit of steam for me by the end but it's never boring and the first half-hour is as funny and startling as anything I've ever seen.
