Summary: I can relate to this
Review: When I, an out of work puppeteer, got my first job on the 7 1/2th floor of a New York office building, I too found a portal into the mind of a celebrity for 15 minutes, after which I was cast out somewhere on the Jersey Turnpike....Okay, I really can't relate to this, but who could? This movie is so utterly obscure and wonderful and confusing and non-sensical, that it is certain to make you laugh. True, the character's could have been sceptical when John Cusack tells them of his discovery,but that would make this movie silly... This movie, riddled with marvelous performances and directing, may very well be the silliest, and is certainly one of the most wonderful movies of all time.

Summary: Intresting Flick.....
Review: This movie is very,very original! It's not utterlyhilarious too often but theabsurdity of the characters and their situations kept mesmirking from beginning to end! I'm wondering if Johnwould lease a few days of hislife to me? All in all a verysolid comedy.

Summary: One of the Most Original and Inventive Films of the Decade!
Review: This movie is so inventive that you'll wonder how screenwriter Charlie Kaufman thought of the concept. The plot is nearly indescribable, it has something to do with a portal at floor 7½ that leads into the mind of actor John Malkovich for 15 minutes and then dumps you on some spot in the highway, sound weird? it is, but the plot is beside the point. It is thoroughly original, funny and entertaining. John Cusack is great as the pathetic pupeteer, and Cameron Diaz shows she can take good career risks with this unusual role for her. But it is Catherine Keener and John Malkovich who give the film is's flavor. Keener is the ultimate object of desire for everyone in the film and she delivers very funny lines and gives the best performance in the cast. John Malkovich is also very funny playing himself, showing us that you can deliver a good performance even if you're playing an 'actor named John Malkovich'. Great movie, one of the best of 1999. See it. From a scale of 1-10 I give this movie a 9!

Summary: The Most Original Movie Ever
Review: Well folks, if you're looking to have your mind blown, then this is the right place to start. This movie is without a doubt one of the most mind expanding movies ever made. I mean come on, how bizzare is an office on a floor disigned for midgets with a secret portal into John Malkovich's mind? The most memorable sceen is is Malkovich's trip through his own mind. It is pretty creepy at times, and just plain wrong at others, but it keeps you going. I was shocked that this movie didn't get the recognition it deserved in the Academy Awards though.

Summary: Being creative!
Review: What would you expect from a movie in which someone finds, in the seventh and a half floor of a building, a kind of portal to the mind of the actor John Malkovich that makes it possible, for those who enter, to see the world through John Malkovich's eyes, for fifteen minutes? A lot of creativity, isn't it? That's it! I'm not kidding! This movie really exists and it is called "Being John Malkovich". And, if there is one movie that we can call creative, this is the one. "Being John Malkovich" is probably the most creative film ever made. Directed by the video maker Spike Jonze, it will prove to you that being your own self is the best idea, even if you ever wanted to be someone else, with a brilliant and extremely original screenplay that surprises you from the beginning until the last minute of the film. What about John Malkovich being John Malkovich? Got confused? Watch the movie and you will be asking yourself how can a person create such a creative movie. You will not believe in what you will see, specially if you see it through your own eyes.

Summary: Truly Exquisite!
Review: This was a true masterpiece to see its way through most of the unmemorable fare of last year. A true classic in its own right. The film shows what a true director, screenplay and most importantly a real plot can do when they all join forces for the power of good.

Summary: Best of 1999
Review: This is the sort of movie that causes mass miracles. Yes, everyone I have spoken to, including myself, was paralysed the first time in seeing it and in tears the second. There is nowhere to start in talking about this movie, since I do not want to reveal anything and yet I want to convince others that it is marvelous. Flawless, hilarious, and original, if there were any masterpieces released last year, this was it.

Summary: Amazing!
Review: This film is the most amazing work I have seen in a very long time. From the opening of the film to the end you never know where it may go or lead into. Being John Malkovich is strange, brilliant and beautiful!

Summary: What can possibly be said?
Review: Imagine the most bizarre movie you can possibly think of, multiply it by ten, and then imagine something even more bizarre than that. That's what you can expect from Being John Malkovich. Part comedy, part drama, a little sci-fi (the main idea, anyway), part avant-garde, part lesbian love story with a twist.. it's simply impossible to classify. Nevertheless, I call it the best movie of 1999. Expect to laugh, be touched, feel for the characters, and be constantly surprised at every turn. The movie follows no formulas, has no cliches, never once becomes obvious or predictable.. and it's one of the best I've ever seen. Definitely not something for everyone; but if you have the sense of humor for it you'll never get it out of your mind. (Heh heh...)

Summary: STUNNING!
Review: I was enthralled with the fact that I could never see exactly where this halarious and blisteringly original film was going. 1999 was a great year for movies, but this one goes down as my #1.
