Totally weird from start to finish, there isn't an unoriginal idea in the whole screenplay. Literate, funny, well-acted and disturbing are all words apply easily to the film.

Criterion edition makes me love this film even more. yes it's 'weird' and 'strange' but it's essentially just a very straightforward account of a fantastic proposition. I hope Kaufman has another film this remarkable and unique for us in the future.

Surprisingly unique and original script. Took me somewhere else. Keener was great!

*speechless* Cooool! Old-school sci-fi, one-of-a-kind, unique, unforgettable. Nice to see Cameron Diaz in an afro-like hair while locked up in a cage and kissing chimpanze! LOL! Haven't taken a good notice of Malkovich before this film. It's nice to see cameos from Charlie Sheen & Sean Penn to make the film "more real". Ah, I should have watched this Jonze's debut long ago.

This had the potential to be a really good bizarre movie, but I just thought it was dull. It didn't keep me on my toes like other similar movies do.

Agree wholeheartedly with Timec.

And I must say that I don't understand people who use "strange" as a pejorative.

One of those rare movies that starts with a really creative premise and examines the implications of the world it has created, eventually bringing things to their logical and inevitable conclusion - and it does all that without ever stretching credulity or seeming that it's trying too hard. The creativity of the screenwriter and director is on full display through every twist and turn of the plot. Delightful, funny, disturbing, and never dull - this is one of the most imaginative films out there.
