Title: An Acquired Tastelessness
Product review: So this doesn't appeal to everyone. Has there ever been a modern ego as big as Mr. Malkovich's - or one so little justified? This is a joke - no, I don't mean it's a bad film, I mean the film is one big joke - so if you like this sort of surreal, oh-so-terribly-clever if you're of the yuppy generation and think YOU'RE so terribly clever, exponent of meaningless and purposeless film making, you'll be in heaven. I was not. Inexplicably nominated for direction and screenplay - proving once again there is a great contingent of artless voters in the Academy's roster - however, one does have to doff the hat at two performances, the rightfully Oscar nominated supporting work of Catherine Keener, and the unjustly Oscar-neglected work of Cameron Diaz. They are both quite fine and the only reasons to see this bizarre little film.
