Wonderful comedy, existential philosophy, corporate satire, and idealistic quest are mixed in this offbeat movie about a married couple of metaphysicians working as private "existentialist" detectives. They fearlessly investigate the mysteries at the core of their clients' secret innermost lives. They help others to solve their existential issues — the kind that keep you up at night, wondering what it all means. Jason Schwartzman plays Albert, an environmental activist with a penchant for bad poetry and self-doubt. During his campaign to stop Huckabees, a suburban superstore, from destroying marshland, Albert's group is taken over by one of the store's vapidly charming salesmen, a pitch-perfect Jude Law. Utterly distraught and questioning the meaning of life, Albert seeks the help of a bizarre husband-and-wife team of "existential detectives." By spying on Albert's daily life, they seek to help him answer that most elemental of human questions, "Why am I here?" |
