A very original and quite strange film. The first time I saw this, I didn't really like it, but on a second viewing, it was much better. No matter how weird it gets, stick with it. It's worth it in the end. |

A very original movie that moves along very well. Who says that there are not any more original ideas left? Cusack is also exceptional. It does tend to overkill itself in one scene, but still very satisfying. It is not for everyone. |

Weird. Strange. Awful. It had potential, but I never got connected to the story. I am a fan of John Malkovich and believe that he is a very gifted actor. You would think that I would love this film..... I did not. My expectation were high. It was defiantly a fantasy film but it was missing heart, emotion, and comedy. |

Get Outa' My Head! |

So much originality and great ideas. I also found lots of great comedy. What starts out as the story of a striving brillaint puppeteer becomes more as we watch this twisted entertaining plot come to life, with a jealous couple who love the same woman and a man who has no idea why people are in his head. Funniest part in the film is when John goes in his own portal, it's hilarious. |

Geppetto Takes A Day Off |
|
This film in my opinion can be attributed to two things: That awkward moment, often in every person's life, where your mind spins itself out to creative bliss so far that there are no strings attached to anything that is of reality. And secondly, that quick epiphonous jab that makes you wonder... "Wow people would go crazy if I could find a way to explain this new idea to them..." Such is the euphoric engine of this film. As if Kaufman and Jonze had turned the originality valve on all the way just to see the devastating results, this film definitely uncanny and worth the watch.
What Crum Dug! - As with all Kaufman screenplays, always during the viewing do you get this strange but pleasant sense of déjà vu that I think is mysterious and enlightening in and of itself...
Bah Crumbug! -... |

Great Idea |
|
This was the first Spike Jonze film I saw and quite frankly he moved up in my book after this. Very funny and very well thought out the plot spirals around a puppeter (john Cussak) who stumbles into a porthole into John Malkoviche's mind. WOW. He gets addicted to travelling into the actor (for naughty reasons) and the message of this film is slightly demented and wierd. Cameron Diaz was really great in this if you can recognise her and John Malkovich himself was brilliant.. You cant help feeling sorry for him by the end though. |
