While I did enjoy this film, I couldn't help but feel that Gondry was pulling his punches throughout the entire feature. Hints of his incredible visual imagination pop through here and there, but save for a few particularly notable scenes, the mad cardboard genius is kept under wraps.From a thematic perspective, the film is somewhat stronger. Universal or shared culture is very now. However, if you're looking for something to make you cry like Gondry's other films, don't look here.
So I guess this isn't very descriptive, but it would not be inaccurate to say that I expected a lot more from the film than I got. I dislike Jack Black and think that Mos Def mumbles way too much, so that could have influenced my experience... but Gondry is still awesome so at the end of the day this gets a thumbs up from me.
