Film #28 of The December Project
It doesn't really matter that this film is incoherent and senseless. All that matters is that these lovable characters believe the bullshit coming out of their mouths, and they end up feeling a lot better because of all their talking and crazy antics. It's so much fun to watch the lightbulb go off for a character every now and then. When they get it, I let myself feel like I get it, too…. Even though I don't.
The film relies heavily on dialogue and monologues to get its ideas across. Without some excellent performances, this wouldn't have worked. Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin were cute with their over-the-top PDA. Mark Wahlberg is surprisingly endearing…

I've expressed in the past I am a big fan of philosophy. All these ideas within and about the world fascinate me. I thought that would make me an existentialist. Apparently I was wrong? Looking at this film, and correct me if I'm wrong...
Existentialists believe that everything is connected and everything is important; everything happens for a reason.
Nihilists believe that nothing is connected and nothing is important; everything happens for no reason.
At least that's the gist of it.
This is very interesting subject matter and also very dark and deep when you think about it. I'll admit, those philosophical ideas are some of the reasons why I loved this, but the main reason is how well it…

Feels like an object from an alien culture in some ways, as one of the last big examples of the American quirky indie film moment that was basically dead by the end of 2007. And even by those standards, this was a weird outlier, with its dialogue-writing on loan from '30s screwball films matched to its feature-length attempt to summarise a bright but lazy student's notes from a freshman year philosophy class. I was petrified to assume it wouldn't hold up, and even though parts of it are dated as hell (not only the obvious parts, either - Jon Brion's score feels like a museum piece, if anything in the film does), the fucking strange sense of humor, which uses…

I can't decide which is funnier: Noami Watts hissing "fuckabees" at someone while wearing a bonnet, or Jude Law in a business meeting silently vomiting into his hand.
