This is an incredibly odd film that basically occupies itself with contradicting everything you might expect. From the narrative structure of the film itself, down to the smallest details. A little girl's name is Reality yet she experiences things that can't possibly happen like seeing a videotape come out of a boar's stomach or her mother reading her a bedtime story that exactly recounts what happened to her that day. A cooking show host wears a rat costume (hygiene?), a french speaking producer has an American name (Bob Marshall), a starting director pitches the worst idea for a movie ever and says it took him four years to come up with it and the producer likes it but focuses on a very small detail. The movie is build on these types of contradictions, leading to funny scenes (the smoking scene is hilarious), but often to just plain absurdity.

Because the narrative structure of the movie itself is contradictory to what you as a viewer expect from a movie the whole thing stays enjoyable, literally anything can happen. In the end everything sort of works out and the story lines are tied in with each other in a way that makes sense. Not 'real' sense, but within the movie's logic (or lack thereof). I agree with another reviewer that one can't really compare this movie to anything else (maybe Dupieux earlier film Wrong), which makes grading it a tad difficult. On the whole I found it an incredibly amusing experience, though I can understand that other people might not. But if you are open minded about movies...

Step into the world of Realité, in which secretaries are creepy, you can go into work and discover that you are already there and if you decline a cigarette because you don't smoke, you will get one forced on you.

Well, I must admit, I was quite interested in the movie when I first saw the trailer. The movie started nice, but after the first half hour I found myself looking what time it was, and how long the movie was going to last. But still I believed that this might be good (since Kevin Spacey and Laurence Fishburne were in it) I WAS WRONG!!

This movie is boring, I can't believe great actors such as Laurence Fishburne and Kevin Spacey, signed up for this junk. It's soundtrack is nice, but the way it is used in the movie is BAD, it seems like the music is forced into the movie. But the worst thing about the movie is it's ending, it's bad, maybe even child like. The only thing good about this movie is the cast, and the trailer(s), that's all.

Don't get fooled, by the cast or the trailers.
