Negative Positive
Title: Offbeat and quirky
Review: It is a wacky, offbeat movie; think "Sunset Boulevard" if it were written/directed by Hunter Thompson. Nicolas Cage gives his best performance since "Raising Arizona."The film jumps around in time and place, careening from Los Angeles to Florida to New York, as screenwriter Charles Kaufman attempts to complete a screenplay based on the book "The Orchard Thief" by Susan Orleans. Kaufman can't get a handle on the story. His life and mind are chaotic. Things get worse for him when his twin brother Donald announces that he too wants to be a screenwriter. Merriment ensues.I highly recommend this film. Anyone who does see it should stay for the "Easter egg" at the end of the credits.
