This guy needs to find ourt what a philosophical farce would be. Ad he needs to understand the inherant irony and absurdity of Existentialism.

Makes little sense? Maybe makes too much sense is what you meant to say.

She doesn't get it either ands she is a bitch. Furious, hateful and angry? Looks towards people in philosophy, you find that being most of them. Especially in a philosophy that deals with the idea that there's nothing but we still do things anyway, so with do things for no reason. Doing something for no reason often makes peopel angry. Sounds like good character development to me.

OK, I think the part most of thses critics are missing in this film is tha part with the mud and the sex. None of them get this scene, but the scene is pure genius. It's directed to the idea they are showing with the the ball being smacked into people's faces. It goes with an idea of intense emotion, such as pleasure or pain, distracts your perception and causes the mind to not be aware of it's own thoughts momentarily. They are pushing eachother into the mud to cause intense disatisfaction towards one another, to cause them to not think for that point, to cause them to feel more at one and have more understanding, which is what they are persuing.

Critics also miss the point of existentialism making sense. Existentialism is basically going off of the idea that noting meakes sense, but that makes the most sense of anything else in the world. The absurd is what makes reasonable sense, it won't cause you to stop questioning, but it will cause continual questioning.

This person is the dumbest of all the critics I read though

"Funny moments for sure, but it's a feeble attempt to convey a weakly grasped Tibetan Buddhist philosophy thru wacky comedy".

Exiistentialism isn't Tibetan Buddhist philosophy. They share some similariaties, but the differences are immeasurable.

In conclusion, I heart Huckabess is the shit. Critics who don't get it shoudl see it again and think about as they watch it.
