Confessions of a Dangerous Mind
Rating = B
It's hard for me to
separate this movie from remembering screen writer Kaufman's Adaptation. In
Adaptation, Kaufman's alter ego is writing a quirky thriller: is this movie
that thriller? Also, in Adaptation Kaufman starts out as sort of a sad sack
character dismayed about his life and as the movie goes along things spin out
of control into thriller mode: the lead in this movie starts out the same way
and then things spin out of control into thriller mode. I couldn't stop
thinking that this movie was a continuation of Kaurman's self referential
business that started in Adaptation. The acting, with the exception of Julia
Roberts', was fine.
