"Adaptation"


Recommended Posts

Starring Nicholas Cage, Meryl Streep; directed by Spike Jonz; "adapted" from the book, "The Orchid Thief" by Susan Orleans.

I rented the dvd last week and ended up watching it 3 times already. It's a very clever and funny screenplay. The same kind of lunancy one might expect from the makers of "Being John Malkovich", but I thought it even topped that.

I laugh wondering what the real Susan Orleans must have thought by the end of movie.

I won't provide any spoilers here.

For those with an offbeat sense of humor, you may enjoy this movie. And if one is an aspiring scriptwriter (Zixar?), you may like this movie all the more.
