Negative Positive
Title: Philosophy, Hollywood style...
Review: Pompous, grotesque "comedy" that gives away just how condescending and facile the denizens of The Land Of Make Believe truly are. A sloppy treatise on existentialism where none of the characters deserve anyone's sympathy or attention. If the writers gave half a fig about what they were writing about, this might have been an entertaining film. But the film is content instead to wallow in its own ill-considered cleverness in the hopes of blowing away a dimwitted, half-educated film audience who thinks that anything that smacks of intellectuality is to be praised simply because it is "heavy". This film will quickly bring to mind another obnoxious, self congratulating slab of intellectual posturing called "Being John Malkovich", and depending on who you are, that might be a bad or good thing.
