A rewarding- frustrating smart-silly comedy of pretentious- modest ambitions.
Don't think about this loony metaphysical comedy too much. Just go with it and, chances are, you'll get it.
So willfully, smugly eccentric that it grows tiresome rather quickly.
Adventurous, challenging and filled with small moments of delight. Unfortunately, it's also self-indulgent, repetitious and the sort of movie you wish was great but isn't.
You have to give everyone involved credit for mounting a joke that, if not of Dadaist proportions, should prove pretty funny to everyone except the rubes who wander in expecting to see something they can comprehend.
In a way, the movie is about everything and nothing, but its real problem has less to do with its philosophical ambition than with its scattered, half-digested musings.
Brilliant existential comedy for adults only.
Russell directs an excellent cast in a thought provoking existential comedy that is very funny and very well acted.
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.
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.
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.
Maddeningly uneven but mildly amusing.
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...
A high-concept, high-minded piece of pseudointellectual trash, "I Heart Huckabees" is one of those stink bombs the intelligentsia like to champion.
Those foolish enough to try to figure out what it might actually all mean are doomed to failure and may indeed be the butt of Russell's joke. The rest of us would be advised to just go along for the ride.
Albert undergoes a singularly spastic mind-trip.
It's more fun to talk about the movie than to actually watch the movie.
...it's clearly sincere in its attempts to deal with life's problems, perhaps too sincere, however, to be anything but sporadically funny. (Two-disc Special Edition)
...while it is little more than a lightweight charade masquerading as deep wisdom, there were parts of it I enjoyed.
