Review title: Disappointment
Product review: If you want to see this film because you loved "Being John Malkovich" you will almost certainly be disappointed. The two films are not of the same quality, they are not even in the same range of quality.I think Charlie Kaufman is one of the most important writers writing screenplays today, and everything I've read of his (from "Being John Malkovich" to "Adaptation") had been superb, but "Human Nature" simply did not translate well from page to screen.And I can't say that it is necessarily all Michael Gondry's fault in his direction. While, I think part of the problem is that Gondry didn't "get" the screenplay, part of the problem is that this was Kaufman's first script and while entertaining on the page, when put on screen, without the humorous writing style and Kaufman's cynical voice ... well, the filmable elements simply don't hold together.Wait for "Adaptation" or "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," both of which promise to be better. They could hardly be worse.
