I Heart Huckabees


This comedy takes a look at the meaning of life. Or rather, it takes a look at two opposing philosophical approaches to the meaning of life. A husband-and-wife team operate as 'existential detectives', who try to provide meaning to their clients' lives. As they try to sort out things for an environmental activist, other characters are drawn into the confusion, and inbetween the high-brow satirical pokes at philosophy, some truths emerge, and new relationships are formed.
