Audience, 'I Heart Huckabees'
(10/25/04 6:00am)
David O. Russell, writer/director of \I Heart Huckabees"" is somewhat of a Hollywood anomaly. Every couple years he'll jump out, make a bizarre movie and then, in a ninja-like fashion, will disappear back into the shadows. His breakthrough movie ""Spanking the Monkey"" was an incest comedy, and he also made the 1999 satire of the first Iraqi war ""Three Kings,"" so it seems well suited that he'd also helm a movie billed as an ""existential comedy."" While the mashing together of these two terms does not always work in ""I Heart Huckabees,"" with a different director at the helm it may have been a complete mess.
