Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 5/5 --
What could have developed into a one-gag film becomes a gender-bending extravaganza with a crazy network of love triangles... The real magic of Being John Malkovich is that it never fails to surprise.

Rating: 3/4 --
It's clever, witty, dark and, most importantly, unwaveringly bizarre.

Minneapolis Star Tribune
Ranked #3 in Rolling Stone's Ten Best Movies of 1999 -- ...A blast of pure oxygen....This movie of constant astonishments will make you laugh hard and long...
Rolling Stone
Devilishly inventive and so far out there it's almost off the scale.

Variety
...BEING JOHN MALKOVICH supplies a stream of dazzling inventions, twists and wicked paradoxes...
Chicago Sun-Times
Malkovich, lampooning his own reputation, is brilliant.
Premiere
By the time the tunnel worthy of the likes of Gulliver and Alice becomes a freeway clogged with bit players, a big chill has descended on all the characters.

Product Description:
Original is far too understated a term to describe this picture, brought to you by the surreal, twisted minds of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and actor-director Jonze. The story concerns a puppeteer, Craig Schwartz (John Cusack), who discovers his office has a secret portal that leads directly into the brain of one of America's most popular actors, John Malkovich (Malkovich himself, in a hilariously self-mocking appearance). When the journey ends fifteen minutes later, the participant is spewed onto the side of the New Jersey Turnpike. Schwartz uses his discovery as a way to get closer to fellow co-worker Maxine (the always sexy Catherine Keener). Together, the pair form JM, INC., which allows ordinary citizens to join in on the fun for $200 a pop. But when Craig's wife Lotte (a homely Cameron Diaz), as Malkovich, is seduced by Maxine, things begin to unfurl at an even more outrageous pace. Sound confusing' Thanks to Spike Jonze's grounded direction, it isn't. The result is one of the decade's most original films.
