I Heart Huckabees is a punctuation in the career of director David O Russell. Mark Wahlberg is a philosophically woke fireman. Jude Law is a sleazy department store executive with an identity crisis. Naomi Watts is his girlfriend — the bikini-weaning Huckabees spokesmodel. Jason Schwartzman is the sensitive environmentalist getting his life audited by detective Lily Tomlin and Dustin Hoffman. Isabelle Hubert is… well… the devil? It doesn’t really matter because what all these characters represent is essentially the director himself. A light comedy about meaning and existence, the film fuses lowbrow physical comedy and deep thoughts to create a movie that’s eager to risk looking ridiculous.
