The movie stars Zack Galifianakis (The Hangover, Heartbreakers), Judy Grreer (The Village, What Women Want), Mia Maestro (The Music Never Stoped, Deepwater), Missy Pyle (Pretty Ugly People, Charlie and the Choclate Factory), Chris Coppola (Dog Gone Love, Shadow), John Paulson (Zoo), and John Keister.
The plot of the movie is Galifianakis takes a look at his successful but monochromatic life in a slightly futuristic time. He works for a giantic coropration whos main goal is a world devoid of any individualism what so ever. He has to choose between the perfect but borring marriage and job adn a life with some emotional debth and meaning.
The movie sets a good tone at the start of the movie that is carried through the rest of the movie. Somewhat annoying but a good way to start the movie. Its about corporate uniformity and the desire for profits. It shows a world where people have no idea as to what makes them happy. When a corporation can implant devces on peoples necks to eliminate all desire for anything that resembles frre choice it can be pretty scarry.
This is the second film with Galfianakis, that I have seen, that has been good and has had no publicity. The other one was Gigantic, with Zooey Deschanel. I suspose Im all for the blockbusters but with the movie studios would take a little of the money they make from The Hangover and get the word out on films like this one.
I will rate this movie as a B. Maybe you can stream it to your phone while in line for the new Harry Potter movie. I hope to see that one next weekend.
