I ♥ Huckabees
2004
**½
Director: David O. Russell
Cast: Jason Schwartzman, Jude Law, Mark Wahlberg, Naomi Watts, Lily Tomlin
A young environmentalist tries to make some sense of his "coincidences" and hires two existential detectives to follow him around while he's involved in a project at the Huckabees superstores. This comedy is deliberately zany, occasionally amusing and overall rather watchable, but too incoherent and self-absorbed to fully win you over. O'Russell throws millions of scattershot ideas in the air and hopes that some of them will stick. Not exactly the answer to life, universe, and everything.
