I saw 50 million ads for that movie but to this day I don't know :wtf: a Huckabee is, or why someone hearting Huckabees makes for such a great cinematic experience. Can someone clue me in? :P
edited to fix smiley thing.

3. Huckabees is a fictional chain of stores in the movie |
|
And it's REALLY worth checking out.

2. Somewhere in between. I like Charlie Kaufman-style movies better when he |
|
actually writes them, but it was a lot of fun nevertheless.

4. Other. Had some good parts, but the abstruse philosophy got old |

I saw it more as poking fun at the redundancy of philosophy than actually trying to make a philosophical point. I thought they did a clever job of that. Know what I mean?

9. Yeah, I got that, and it was a decent movie, |
|
but it still kinda dragged in the aforementioned regard. Have to admit I had to rewind and replay several bits of dialogue to understand what the hell they were saying which gets a bit annoying after awhile.

The pseudo-intellectual philosophical speak was driving me crazy after a little while. I'd like to see it a second time to see if I pick up on more of the dialouge.

the existential detectives (Hoffman and Tomlin) reminded me of so many of the people that came to dinner when my philosopher/ psychologist parents threw parties in the early '70's. Loved Walberg's character too. :thumbsup:

I love when Mark Wahlberg's character is conversing with the "conservative white parents" over dinner. Great scene :thumbsup:

12. "What happens in the meadow at dusk"? |

"Everything"!
"Nothing"!
"Everything"!
"Nothing"!
"Everything"!
No doubt many a Duer is familiar with the feeling of being at such a table!

reminds me of a half dozen repubs I've known who have said "but we give to the Christian children's fund"! in response to any criticism of the GOP treatment of children from poor families.

15. Other. Mostly brilliant |
|
(especially Tomlin and Hoffman) and Shania Twain kicked ass, but really really really thought the mud sex and boardroom barf fest were over the top.
