With the help of two Existential Detectives, Bernard and Vivian Jaffe (Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin), Albert examines his life, his relationships, and his conflict with Brad.

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.

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

I ♥ Huckabees is a rarity-a tremendously optimistic film for a truly dark time.

Common Sense Says

Brilliant existential comedy is filled with sex, profanity.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that this movie has extremely strong language ("f--k," "motherf---ker," "c--ksucker," "s--t," "bulls--t," "d--k," "p--sy," "a--hole"), and some sexual references (frequency of sexual intercourse is discussed, as is masturbation) and one brief explicit sexual situation (one of the male characters is shown with long blonde hair and female breasts, as one of the other male characters sucks on one of the breasts until milk comes out). Characters drink and smoke. The movie includes mild comic peril and some tense confrontations.
