Story: A man is struggles to write a screenplay that is base on a certain book about flowers. It is based on the writers strugles to writer the film.

Response: I usually hate Nicholas Cage this time however I think he did quite a wonderful performance. I liked the first few acts of the film however the final seemed a little bit of a disappointment. It thinks it can get away with doing what it said it wouldn't for instance throwing in car chases and gun fights because it promised it wouldn't. However the thrown in car chases and gun fights seem less ironic and more out of place. Nevertheless it is a great film and has originality, you can see the minds that worked on Being John Malkovich behind this film, still I like BJM more. I love his twin brother he is a great character who emphasizes the the main characters personality by showing a personality that is exactly the oposite. Donald is what Charlie does not want to become, a half ass screenplay writer who has unoriginal and lame ideas that ironically are popular. Until the end very very good.

Rating: Good
