Spike Jonez has a bang of a directorial debut with BJM. The film has that ‘made to be a cult film feel’ where the circumstances are sarcastically unreal and a great cast keeps a straight face through the wackiness. John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, and Catherine Keener are excellent as eccentric or just plain out-there characters, and John Malkovich is literally along for the ride. It won’t do much good to try to explain the plot, just enjoy the ‘huh?’ inspired laughs.
