Sorry but I will NOT be their opening night based on this trailer. I've watched it twice and while it has peaked my interests I really can't tell what the movie is about.
Feels more like a tease then a trailer.

Just watched the trailer for the first time...pretty good....I was reminded of The Royal Tenebaums in the sense that both films seem to have a ton of actors I really enjoy in a movie that seems very "busy".

When's this fuckin' thing going wider? - none of the ads will say.
Anywho, I loved Flirting With Disaster and Three Kings - didn't much care for Spanking The Monkey - but that was a long time ago.
There's already been enough good reviews from people I trust, and most importantly, a good friend saw a sneak a month ago and won't shut up about it.
So when the hell am I gonna be able to see this?

I think I already made my thoughts on this film clear in the other thread. But it will go wider slowly.
Better thread title " I <3 huckabees"
My guess is that it will get a split reaction. Felt the film was either a love it or hate it. You are in the O.C. why not drive up to one of the many Los Angeles theaters?

T, too, look forward to I ♥ Huckabees. The trailer's... odd, but addictive. Last night I spent a considerable amount of time trying to find a downloadable high-quality version of the trailer... I love the silliness, the music...
I'm told the film isn't much like the trailer - in fact, that there's tons upon tons of cursing and there's tons of disturbing images - but hey. that's okay. I enjoyed Chris Morris' jam.
... sort of.

Saw it on Saturday - I thought it was well written, except that the subject kind of wore on me, if that makes any sense. Good acting, a couple of editing problems.
So, overall, I thought it was average - it had the potential to be so much more.

I thought it had a lot of potential, but it just fell short really. I suppose I'm thinking somewhat the same as you MrN. The subject matter never seemed to get past using hot buzz words that could make them sound smart or witty and never got to the actual meat and bones of the whole reason the movie was around.
eh.
eh.

I absolutely loved it, and any nitpicking I have with the movie would be just that. I'm hoping it goes wider so more people can see it, but regardless, I'll be buying the DVD.

I personally couldn't stand this film, everyone is saying the acting is great, blah, blah, blah... no it isn't. The dialogue and plot was so self righteous and grating. With all the critics praising this film, "Garden State" and "Napolean Dynamite" as being the best US indie films of the year - uh, I beg to differ.
