Negative Positive
Title: Although the acting is pretty good, to sum up Adaptation
Review: in one word: pretentious. I couldn't get into the struggle of adapting The Orchid Thief that the Nicholas Cage character was experiencing because I found the whole premise behind The Orchid Thief to be pretty lame. As a result, the Meryl Streep/Chris Cooper segment of the movie was pretty uninteresting which made the Nicholas Cage segment of the movie just as uninteresting. I had high hopes for Adaptation because I really liked Being John Malkovich. Oh well, this usually happens to sophomore efforts.
