Title: So What?
Product review: 1999 was a really great year for movies and I didn't get to see all the ones I wanted in the theater. So when this one came out on DVD I bought it from trust in the reviews that it was something great. Unfortunately there wasn't much to be seen. I was completely annoyed with John Cusack's preformance and I was never taken in by any of the story's quirkiness. Some genuinely funny moments aside, I am at a loss of words to explain why this movie was not only on ten best lists, but at the top of them as well. I agree with another reviewer here with the phrase "different doesn't mean brilliant". Too often these days leading critics are confusing those two words. While very different, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH was far from brilliant.
