I Heart Huckabees

Saturday, December 15, 2007

I've seen I Heart Huckabees a million bajillion times, but Shenan hadn't. I love David O. Russell's movies, even if he is an asshole or bipolar or whatever and called Lily Tomlin the c-word.

Flirting With Disaster is his funniest, and Three Kings is probably the all around best, but there is a very special place in my heart for Huckabees. It's just so damn odd and unique, and although I'm no philosophy buff, I really respond to its goofy exploration of the big, pretentious life-questions. Oh, and Mark Wahlberg gives what is maybe my second favorite comedic performance ever, right behind John Goodman in The Big Lebowski.

Good stuff.
