Had NO idea what this was as the wife picked it out. I was the first to watch it though. MAN was it wierd. But, I think I actually liked it. I can only figure they are making fun of people that are in theropy, but don't need to be, or something. Or, maybe it's just something they though of while high. No idea. Cause it was out there. But, it kept my interest and I wanted to see things play out. The young girl at the video store was telling another customer that she didn't really like it. Was 'disappointed'. Was expecting more because it had Dustin Hoffman in it. So, I went into it with lower expectations. I have NO idea what she's talking about, as he was fun to watch with Lilly Tomlin. They played well together. I'd say it was a comedy, but, I didn't laugh much. But, it was by no means a drama or anything else. I dunno. Maybe I'm wacky. But, I liked it. Looking forward to watching it again when the wife finally gets around to watching it.
If you've ever read Adams's Dirk Gently/Holistic Detective agency book, that's what this movie was like. They were a holistic, "existential" detective agency.
