Critics Consensus: I Heart Huckabees certainly isn't for everyone, but audiences attuned to its quirky wavelength will find a singularly brainy screwball comedy that refuses to pander.

Reviews

David Walsh

The strength of I Heart Huckabees lies almost entirely in its vivacious, critical, slightly manic-and not unsympathetic-pictures of confused and struggling Americans.

Russell directs with the ambition of Altman and the nervous energy of Paul Thomas Anderson, and his script sounds like it was co-written by Howard Hawks and Charlie Kaufman.

It's like a '30s screwball comedy that's gone to grad school...hits the ground running, flinging verbal and visual information at you with machine-gun velocity. Your mind is engaged and delighted.

While superficially I Heart Huckabees is a deranging experience, it ends up being deeply reassuring.

You don't get many clear answers from this film and maybe that's for the better.
