5 out of 10 Excellent
Stephen from Dublin, 05 Sep 2009
Superb film about the screen writing process, with the film changing as the writer character becomes more frustrated and compromised. As he finally gives in to hollywood style storytelling it spurs the third act into a glorious torrent of all the screen writing clichés he had been railing against all along.

3 out of 10 Entertaining
Ciaran from Dublin, 30 May 2008
Entertaining and somewhat funny story of a guy and his twin brother, both played by Cage. He is a writer in Hollywood and that's all I can say as the rest just has to be watched. It's narrative is far from standard and it's very much a story about a story in a story!

4 out of 10 Very good
Maeve from Dublin, 02 Jan 2008
This is a brilliant movie. If you liked John Malkovich then you'll love this. Very funny and off the wall. I'm not a Nicolas Cage fan at all... in fact I usually avoid watching movies with him in it, but this film is different. He suits the role for once.

5 out of 10 Loved it!
Niamh from Cork, 16 Oct 2008
This is such an entertaining movie. I'm not usually a fan of Nicholas Cage but he is superb in this as the depressed loser writer and his own twin brother. Merly Streep is also brilliant. This was my 2nd time watching it and really enjoyed it again.

What's it about....
Lovelorn screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Cage) turns to his less talented twin brother Donald (also Cage) for help when his efforts to adapt a non-fiction book. Originality does not get any better.
