Another fabulous movie! I was worried that I wouldn't like it, but really enjoyed it a lot. Nicholas Cage is great!

I thought it was great. Nicholas Cage did a fabulous job in this movie. I want to see some interviews with the Kaufman brothers now to know what really goes through their heads.

** Possible spoiler below ***

I doubt you'll find any interview with the "brothers". To learn more, read Ebert's essay at:

I found this film extremely odd, but refreshing for its originality. However, I didn't love this movie and I'm not sure why. I think when the character died that was a bit over the top for me.

Saw this and loved it!! Very original and creative. Loved the interwoven story...fun change when the brother's assistance with the ending came into play. Dramatic change in plot and style, and what happens to his character... LOL. Very clever and entertaining work by Mr.Kaufman. I don't usually go overboard for Nick Cage, but he was terrific in this. I loved Chris Cooper too...he was equally convincing in character in American Beauty.
