Os universos de Chuck Barris e Charlie Kaufman são complementares. E igualmente fascinantes.

A genuine mixed bag, full of entertaining moments but also bogged down by Clooney's overwhelming desire to emulate his frequent screen collaborator Steven Soderbergh.
02/26/03
If for nothing else, go see Rockwell’s performance. It’s about time for him to bust out into bigger and better roles, and if it happens, this movie will be why.
02/18/03
Marks an auspicious debut for George Clooney in the role of director -- a job he already seems to be a natural at.
02/16/03
Clooney's ambition renders Denzel's "Good Will Fisher" / "Finding Fisher" debut pedestrian in comparison.
02/12/03
The movie isn't out to answer questions, but to show you just how deep & intesting those questions can get. In the mean time, it's damn entertaining.
02/10/03
Too succinct and too straightforward for its enigmatic subject.

...A wacky movie about a wacky person, a film whose details we are never really sure we are supposed to believe. But perhaps this uncertainty is what makes it so engaging.

Clooney directs this film always keeping the balance between the fantastic and the believable...

The American film of the season -- and maybe of the year, or the last couple of years...
02/07/03
While the results are often stylish, interesting and humorous, the film unfortunately lacks focus and fails to resonate on an emotional level.
02/04/03
unfolds in a striking visual palette of washed out colors and deep shadows, almost as if we’re watching it on an old television set whose picture tube is about to burn out
02/02/03
There's nothing dangerous about Chuck Barris' mind. Unfortunately, there's not much interesting about it either.
02/01/03
It's deftly written by Charlie Kaufman.
01/31/03
[The movie] makes up in vitality what it loses in veracity.
01/31/03
With a dedication to seamless scene transitions not witnessed since, maybe, 1992’s Hoffa, Clooney keeps the film light, and even a little fun.
