| Movie Description Original is far too understated a term to describe this picture, brought to you by the surreal, twisted minds of screenwriter Kaufman and actor-director Jonze. The story concerns a puppeteer, Craig Schwartz (Cusack), who discovers his office has a secret portal that leads directly into the brain of one of America's most popular actors, John Malkovich (Malkovich himself, in a hilariously self-mocking appearance). When the journey ends fifteen minutes later, the participant is spewed onto the side of the New Jersey Turnpike. Schwartz uses his discovery as a way to get closer to fellow co-worker Maxine (the always sexy Keener). Together, the pair form JM, INC., which allows ordinary citizens to join in on the fun for $200 a pop. But when Craig's wife Lotte (a homely Diaz), as Malkovich, is seduced by Maxine, things begin to unfurl at an even more outrageous pace. Sound confusing? Thanks to Jonze's grounded direction, it isn't. The result is one of the decade's most original films.

Report this review Escapism to new HeightsI found this movie to deliver in a powerful way a new dimension of escapism with an over the edge touch of insanity at times that leaves you powerless to guess what is next to come in this enchanting journey into an unknown realm.

Report this review Want an entirely unique movie experience? :-)In a few words, this is certainly one of the most ingeniously creative movies ever in my opinion. Incredibly entertaining & well written, there are no slow spots to it & it'll keep your mind held as well as intelectually stimulated. Fun from start to finish, it's a purchase that you'll never regret. Enjoy! ~dw~ Review ID: 10000000003063364 Was this review helpful? Report this review Being John MalkovichReview created: 06/08/06 by: I love this movie!! It is very unique. I can't say any more because the best part was wtching it, without really knowing what to expect. I bought it because after seeing it once, I knew it had to be apart of my collection. Review ID: 10000000001145613 Was this review helpful? Report this review twisted funnyReview created: 03/19/06 by: If you have an open mind you'll love it. If not you'll turn it off after a few minutes. Cameron Diaz is particularly unattractive in this one, you might not even recognize her. The premise is beyound beflief and the goofy situations are too. If you like Hitch hikers guide to the galaxy, Rocky Horror,Eating Rauol,or such weird fair, you'll love it. The 13 1/2 floor is a hoot. This ain't for everyone, but if you're the one, like me, you'll have a great time. Review ID: 10000000000802557 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
