Indie director goes nutzoid. I've got serious trouble to see the humour of this. Woody Allen's 'Annie Hall' already presented some of the supposed jokes and humour in this terribly inferior product of a bored and phrenetic state of mind (at the time). Frankly I rented this because of Soderbergh's recent successes in movieland before Oceans Eleven with which he gets even more commercial than with Out Of Sight. The latter actually had some style. But this turns out to be his worst (typically: that means 'weenie' in Dutch) movie. The point of it may be that Soderbergh is tired of urban cacophony, or that he wants to pay an awkward homage to certain movies that inspired him.
More probable is that Soderbergh tries to accomplish something bizarre like a Monty Python-effect but crashes and burns along the way before making a point or even becoming experimental. My sympathy goes out to all the fans, but this was a run of the mill. Much ado about nothing. Buñuel made great movies about merely what he liked to show, without a point. Now Schizopolis is definitely NOT ahead of its time. However also but nevertheless heh uche moreover big dogs barking on my head whatsoever hereby backed up paddywagon mackin' on thy cat's ass or shave my legs and call me grandpa. Now, was that funny? Was it surreal? ... Thought so. Ah well, one born every minute. 3/10
