I Heart I Heart Huckabees

One of my favorite movies, I Heart Huckabees, is a movie I just saw for the first time this summer when my girlfriend showed it to me.  I immediately loved the pace and the witty, sarcastic humor.  I Heart Huckabees is film that seems to breathe naturally.  The acting is perfect and the storyline is just the kind of weird, existential driven plot that always keeps me on edge. 

 

This movie has a kind of low-budget feel even though it offers a star-studded cast of Dustin Hoffman, Mark Wahlberg, Jude Law, Jason Shwartzman, and Lily Tomlin.  The themes of searching for the meaning of life, who we are, what our purpose is, and even what questions to ask are heavy but the writing is playful and light.  For a sense of the feel take a look at the trailer:

I Heart Huckabees isn't a movie that is going to change your perception on life. It will make you laugh at yourself for asking many of the same questions it parodies.
