Summary: Brilliant, mesmorizing, best movie of the year
Review: No flash, special effects, blood and violence, no nudity or sexual explitives and what do you get? A movie about the realistic thought patterns and cycles induced by hallucinagetic drug abuse. A brilliant movie that explored the true sense of self and "his" relation to the world, others and most painfully your own SELF. Acting was superb and the movie was excellent. 5 stars, no doubt. To all of the people who HATE this movie, Learn to listen and try not to understand.

Summary: Stole Worst Movie Award from "Howard the Duck"
Review: Couldn't watch it all in one setting because it was too painful. I can't imagine anyone seeing this is on-stage - how depressing. REALLY bad. As much as I've liked all the actors in other parts, they couldn't do anything for the lame script and purposeless plot.

Summary: MOVIES LIKE THIS ARE AN INSULT TO THE VIEWERS
Review: I have one word for this manipultive, meaningless, contrived waste of time and space movie .. PATHETIC. I can think of no good reason why this movie should be in existence. Although their acting is good .. Penn and Spacey should be ashamed and I lose respect for them being part of this trash. You know you have a real loser when you can fast forward constantly and you don't miss ANYTHING! Meg Ryan is an absolute JOKE in this movie. Send Hollywood a message .. Burn this movie!! We deserve better than this crap -- especially from two fine actors such as Penn and Spacey.

Summary: Yawn
Review: This movie was so boring. The acting was good. I'm always impressed with Kevin Spacey. But ugh. Even the acting couldn't save this drone.

Summary: Good acting, lousy movie
Review: I agree with most here that the acting is amazing for this flick (Penn and Spacey are great, Palminteri is good, Meg Ryan is forgettable). However, after about 1/2 hour, the movie becomes unwatchable because the dialogue (with the exception of 1 or 2 scenes) is annoying, meaningless and ultimately painful to listen to. The actors all speak in paragraphs, and they don't speak like normal people would. It all becomes a boring, pointless exercise in overanalytical crap. And in the end, you don't walk with any sense of just what it was that the writer was trying to say, other than the fact that people are basically pathetic.

Summary: Entertaining, but don't read too much into it.
Review: When I first heard about this movie, I thought "Oh awesome! Sean Penn and Kevin Spacey in the SAME movie!!" And the acting was incredible, with the exception of the side character played by Meg Ryan. And it was fun to see these actors play such near-insane characters and hear their theories on the universe and telephone booths and all that. But they were in such a downward spiral and were such losers you had to be careful not to get dragged down with them. If you enjoy these actors you should definitely check it out.

Review: Well, at least it was better than The Avengers

Summary: Too much talk, but has a good point
Review: I was a bit overwhelmed by all this talk in this movie... However, I thought it has a good point that everyone is self-centered lonely creature. Things that are meaningfull to you doesn't mean s#$% to others. In most cases in our life, friendship is composed of thin lines between greed, loneliness, and importance of oneself. If you think about things a lot, then you'll understand where these people are coming from and you'll enjoy watching it. Onece is enough though.

Summary: if you want to waste money then rent this
Review: This movie to me made no sense but I give it two stars because some of the actors i like were in it.I had to ask anyone if they have seen the movie so i could understand what it was about because I couldn't tell.I dont know what movie to compare it to because this is probably the first movie i've seen that had everything in a movie that wouldn't make sense.

Summary: PoorlyBurly
Review: Ok first off dont even waste your time watching a movie thatmakes no sense.Two of my friends and I watched this movie and we areguessing the plot of the movie is people that like to do drugs,people that like to fuss alot,people that like to have sex,and a guy who likes to hit people.This movie was pointless i didn't even understand what the heck this was about.One minute a guy if fussing with his friend the next minute he is laughing with him doing drugs then the next minute he is having sex and then a guy comes in the house and tells everyone he hit somebody.Come on what the heck is up with this movie?!?!? I wouldn't even give it half a star but it looks like i had to give it one star.
