What
to a tall skinny African, a paranoid Fireman, an insecure Environmentalist, a
raging hot bikini model, her uptight, two faced boyfriend, Shania Twain, a
French seductress and 2 Existentialist Detectives have in common? It is the
ensemble cast of the brilliantly funny philosophical comedy.
The
Fireman (Mark Wahlberg, Rock Star) and
the Environmentalist (Jason Schwartzman, Rushmore) team up in their existentialist quandary of life,
what their various coincidences and random interchanges have to do with life,
the universe and everything. They seek the research of Existentialist
Detectives Dustin Hoffman (Midnight Cowboy) and Lilly Tomlin.
Meanwhile,
the environmentalist’s work is being corrupted by corporate intervention, lead
by two-face Jude Law (Road to Perdition)
the mogul for the Huckabees Corporation, who is also dating their bikini spokes
model (Naomi Watts, King Kong),
who also happens to be in an existentialist quandary.
The
philosophizing, particularly by Mark Wahlberg is absolutely hilarious, and the
general point, of unification philosophy, and parts and pieces, including parts
and pieces of the truth is really loud and clear. In a strange sort of way,
this whole thing has a lot of fun with some pretty nutso ideas. 2, and a must
see for philosophy people.
