Class 3: "I Heart Huckabees". Maybe I'm not existential enough, but it seemed to be 2 hours of long-winded, self-indulgent, faux-intellectual tripe.

I agree but I found it somewhat amusing though. The director, David O Russel (three kings) is a pseudo-intellectual boob, from what I know about him, though it seemed Wahlberg's character's neurosis was O Russel fun of himself.

Huckabees was a Class 1 for me. Stuck with it only because I had a relative who played a small part in the flick, and I wanted to see him.
Otherwise, it was a stinkeroo!

Yes. That movie nearly killed me.

"I Heart Huckabees" reminded me of "Zardoz", a movie where the director is basically laughing at the audience because they're too stupid not to take any of it seriously. I think in bothe movies the directors kept saying "Let's put this in... they'll never swallow this one" and yet most movie goers did.
Or something like that.
