5/10
clever surrealism
28 February 2000
Being John Malkovich was a clever somewhat sophisticated film that kept me interested. It is most decidedly quite offbeat, a Salvadore Dali meets Monty Python kinda movie. I didn't find it particularly hilarious, but humorous and very well acted. I didn't even recognize Cameron Diaz in the role of Lotte and was surprised as I could be that it was her. John Malkovich himself completely stole the show, he was absolutely charming and brilliant. I found it a fun movie, but would not recommend it to everyone. If you like a far out concept that toys with the absurd, this is a good movie for you.
