I know there are questions, I'm sure there are answers, but I don't really care about either.

That's essentially how I feel about Charlie Kaufman's directorial debut. It was an entertaining film that dragged a at the end but overall was interesting to watch. What it wasn't, however, was thought provoking. As soon as the film ended, I was basically done with the film. I wasn't thinking about any of the questions, didn't try to interpret any of the many metaphors. I was just entertained and ready to move on.

One of the reasons for that might have been the fact that the film had so many ideas that it never really got any of them across. Spike Jonze said that Kaufman's approach to a film is to attempt the impossible and in this case he seemed to have tried to make a very personal film that was completely open to interpretation by the viewer. He took his personal opinion and wrapped it in so many metaphors that it was unclear what his original opinion was, or even was actually about in the first place.

Still, I liked the film and think it could have made for an intriguing David Lynchian TV show. In fact, I'd really love to see Kaufman take on a series since it might be the better medium for his vast and sprawling style.
