I could see why people wouldn't like this, but I thought it was great. As I read the reviews for this, people compared it to Napoleon Dynamite in terms of "weirdness", I guess. But as Napoleon Dynamite was a weird comedy for the non-thinker, I Heart Huckabees is a weird comedy for the thinker. Of course, if you're like me and are just plain weird, then you should like them both. Huckabees remained light even in the midst of all its insane philosophical whatever-the-heck-that-was... and quotes like "You can't deal with my infinite nature, can you?" "That is so not true. Wait, what does that even mean?" keep it from looking like it's taking itself too seriously. Wouldn't recommend it to everyone, but I would recommend it to... um. I'm not sure who. But I'll think about that.
Memorable quotes:
(a poem)
"No one sits like this rock sits.
You rock, rock.
This rock just sits and is.
It teaches us to rest, which is something we all should learn to do."
"You can't plant a tree in the middle of the parking lot!"
"Have you ever transcended space and time?"
"Yes. No. Time, not space. No, I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Every time I go in there it's full of hating faces that I have to chop up with a machete."
"You can't deal with my infinite nature, can you?"
"That is so not true. Wait, what does that even mean?"
"What are you doing tomorrow?"
"I was thinking about chaining myself to a bulldozer. You wanna come?"
"What time?"
"About 1:00, 1:30."
"Sounds good. Should I bring my own chains?"
"We always do."
