Every now and then someone makes a film which is intreging, exsquicit and perfect, a film that touchs the heart, the soul, that you can identiify with, this is one such film i believe. Albert is a guy, an ecowarrior, a poet- eco-warrior who hires private detectives to investigate his life, his own life.
Dustin hoffman and lily Tomlin are the detectives, they start by asking him to step inside a body bag. From here on in the cast including Naomi Watts, Jude Law and Mark Wahlberg (both of which surprise and shine... and i don't like saying that about either of them) and Jason Schwartzman as Albert hurtle through a bazarre and hilarious journey towards the ending and a conclusion to life the universe and everything, and it ain't forty two, its okay... Life is okay, ireally feel that now, everything is OK.
If i said more i'd ruin it, and one day i'll write a longer peice explaining why i love this film, but you should see it for yourselves, it is fast, all encompassing, topical and it trusts you - the audience not to be a dumb retard, to be able to think outside the box and to keep up, something not a lot of film-makers like to do these days, and this is a pity, because as Director David O. Russell shows, it means you can pack alot into 106 minutes. I loved I Heart Huckabees and if you're on this site, i think you will too, go on... off you go, quick, while it's still showing...
