The word unique gets bounced around a lot. But this movie actually is - unique. As a movie though, it's barely watchable.

Some parts work better than others, but overall it's really funny and surprisingly watchable.

Same Wavelength

Soderbergh's ideas about how communication breaks down among people thrown onto film. It's interesting to see how he shows us his views and the movie is hilarious.

Funny, smart, occasionally boring, self-indulgent, weird, clever, occasionally forced and unfunny, and overall a very worthwhile watch - if only to see a side of Soderbergh vastly different from his Hollywood films.

whoa! what a rascally rascal Mr. Soderberg is!

The funniest film I have seen in a very long time. This film to me, is Monty Python to to my friends.

It is almost as if it tried to hard to no try at all... if that makes any sense. Well, at any rate, this movie actually bored me and I didn't find it very funny.

Unique? Yes. Boring? YES!

Steven Soderbergh's throwaway absurdist comedy may not have much meaning (in a prologue, he tells the audience that if they don't understand the film, it's their fault), but it's clearly a film that was fun to make, and the fun rubs off on the viewer. Soderbergh, proving to be a solid comic actor, plays an office drone and his double, a womanizing dentist. It's laden with gimmicks, my favorite being the exterminator who speaks, at first, in nonsensical strings of words. A highly quotable film.

There's some things to like here, but a lot more to hate. Some experiments are more interesting on paper, and this is one, because as interesting as some of it may sound it's borderline unwatchable. Score is not a grade.

Bizarre and unpredictable and self-indulgent and completely one-of-a-kind. Soderbergh's a fantastic leading man with exceptional comic timing and the film oozes with an irresistible freewheeling surrealism. Incredibly funny and impeccably put together.

It's original, alright. Too crazy for me.

Really wish I liked this more.

I see what Soderbergh wanted to do, but this is rather stupid.

Really, really weird but really, really funny in parts. It feels more like an experiment then an actual film. So many conventions are shattered in order to provide jokes that simply wouldn't work otherwise. I think if you've seen lots of movies and you want something that's completely different then this is worth seeing but the average movie goer simply would not get this at all.

Needs a rewatch. I remember not really getting it when I watched it.

Soderbergh really lets loose here, and the result is a very fun experiment, even if it is plainly self-indulgent. Surrealism of the comic Bunuel variety.

I've never seen anything like it.

Original, unique, free of all conventions, these are all good descriptions but to use any of them still feels like I am doing the film a great injustice. Either way it is still a lot of fun.

A film that dissects communication and the break down of it. It is highly original and adventerous, and it works as both an experiment and as a comedy.
