Did I see this movie? Because I feel like I didn't. I mean, I absolutely love Charlie Kaufman...and John Cusack...and Cameron Diaz...and Catherine Keener (although I've always hated John Malkovich, ironically). And yet I just couldn't get into this movie. The first hour was absolutely sensational--all time best material--but the last 40-something minutes were just too weird, even for me. This is a well acted film and a well written film, but it just went off on way too many tangents. When you go in so many directions, it's hard to have a conclusion that is truly satisfying. B-
