Russell directs an excellent cast in a thought provoking existential comedy that is very funny and very well acted.

REVIEWS FOR I HEART HUCKABEES
I have no idea what the film is really all about, but this top line cast makes it so much fun, it doesn't seem to matter.
Oct 18, 2008
This feverish state-of-the-split-nation address finds Russell tossing everything that matters -- and more -- into the pot, and producing a pretty indigestible and very messy stew.
Jun 24, 2006
If you're up for it, you'll discover a fresh, funny little romp unafraid to tackle the biggest issues of all.

Despite an outstanding cast of actors and some funny moments, I never cared enough to believe that this movie was anything other than pretentious; the kind of movie they might show in Philosophy 101 classes.
Sep 30, 2005
Maddeningly uneven but mildly amusing.
May 4, 2005
Si vous êtes prêt à suivre à votre maximum d’attention une comédie qui ne semble pas faire beaucoup de sens, vous risquez [...] de vous y retrouver.

I ♥ Huckabees might be too smart for its own good, but that also seems to be the point. Russell extols liberal activism while deflating its self-importance...
Apr 14, 2005
A high-concept, high-minded piece of pseudointellectual trash, "I Heart Huckabees" is one of those stink bombs the intelligentsia like to champion.
Mar 30, 2005
...while it is little more than a lightweight charade masquerading as deep wisdom, there were parts of it I enjoyed.
Mar 6, 2005
At its heart, this is basically the story of one man's attempt to prove that his life has meaning. What could be more relatable than that?
Mar 5, 2005
I hate Huckabees!
Feb 12, 2005
I ? Huckabees really only succeeds on the level of slapstick, with Tomlin's impeccable timing being the chief delight.
Jan 27, 2005
The funniest movie I saw in 2004
Jan 26, 2005
A different kind of motion picture, one that challenges the status quo and gives audiences a skewed view on the typical. Here, here!

As with Russell's other films, Huckabees moves its audience from initial bafflement to a broader apprehension of a situation rife with complexity.
