I came to this movie with mixed feelings. True, it was another collaboration between Spike Jonze and Charlie Kaufman, who brought us the weird and interesting Being John Malkovich. On the other hand, the trailer seemed so weird, and it had Nicolas Cage, unattractive and annoying to begin with, playing a fatter, sweatier version of himself as twins.

But that’s all okay. As it turns out, the movie is twisted, weird, funny (and a tad long.) It doesn’t succed at everything it tries, but the story is inventive and different. If you like your movies off the beaten path, go see it.
