"An ambitious but disjointed spoof of New Age quirks and quacks that attempts to simultaneously put down and lift up. But, despite the A-list ensemble, it accomplishes neither." -- San Jose Mercury News

I Heart Huckabees (2004)61%

"Friday Night Lights is the real deal, a grim, in-your-face expose of one West Texas school's fanatical sports program." -- San Jose Mercury News

"This French ... opens so promisingly that it's tres tragique when, two-thirds along, it makes a U-turn into the melodramatic and maudlin." -- San Jose Mercury News

"In terms of idiotic, incoherent plot progression, David Twohy's spacey follow-up is in a class by itself. Think John Travolta's Battlefield Earth and then drop a couple of rungs." -- San Jose Mercury News
