xdevx – cd & live reviews

What in the Buddha’s name is going on in I Heart Huckabees? There’s a bunch of ideas that don’t stick with you because they don’t stick together. The philosophic notions in I Love Huckabees drown in a weird mixture (an no, it’s NOT experimental) of screwball comedy, absurdist farce and social satire with zingy one-liners. The resulting product is so disjointed it’s hard to tell if Russell dumbed down the film in the hope of garnering a larger audience, or if I Heart Huckabees simply isn’t as smart as it likes to think it is. The all-star cast up on the screen appears to be having so much fun, you wish the movie found a way to let you into the party.
