I Heart Huckabees

Everyone searches for some kind of meaning in life. Albert Markovski (Jason Schwartzmen) Has decided that his destiny is hidden behind three coincidences. So naturally he does what any normal, grounded human being would do by hiring existential detectives (Dustin Hoffman & Lily Tomlin) to discover the fate that is his life and watch him in the bathroom. Between saving open spaces, discovering that the universe is simply and best explained as a gigantic blanket, on top of fighting an evil corporate entity like the Huckabees Corporation and befriending a Fireman (Mark Wahlberg) obsessed with the emptiness of the universe and how it all ties in with small African children working in dark factories so his daughters mommy can have cheap tennis shoes, and the worlds “so called” Oil crises. Albert will have to decided if looking too deeply into the “big picture” is worth all the trouble. This is one of the smartest comedies I have ever seen. If ironic sarcasms is your kind of humor, this will be a personal favorite of yours. A definite 10. If you like this film check out The Royal Tenenbaums or anything by Wes Anderson and Owen Wilson!
