I Heart Huckabees

I don't really understand why people have been picking I <3 Huckabees as their favorite movie. It's certainly a unique and quirky movie, and I can see why some would find it hilariously funny. And it was a well executed cinematic portrayal of the central themes. But I didn't find the central themes to be that engaging. It's mostly a screenplay based around the ideas of a few philosophical questions, which are in some ways taken to the extreme. But I don't need a movie to make me think about these ideas or to illustrate them or provide possible answers. What I would have enjoyed more is a plot that built upon those ideas.
