Title: Who Wants to Be John Malkovich?
Product review: Original? Yes! Entertaining? No! What turns out to be a great idea becomes a terrible movie. BEING JOHN MALKOVICH has a great premise,but the execution suffers from a dreary romance and some downbeat characters. The idea of going into that tunnel and ending up in the mind of a second rate actor, then being forced onto the New Jersey turnpike is funny the first time, but it doesn't go anywhere. The love triangles are not worth looking out for and the characters (especially Maxine/Catherine Keener - -who played the same kind of "@#$%" on an episode of SEINFELD) are not sympathetic. Also, Cameron Diaz looks awful. As usual,John Cusack plays the same character he always plays in most of his movies except in this film, he looks like a bum. The ESPN commercials using the idea were funnier. A movie to watch just one time and that's it!
