If You have had the pleasure of reading the most refreshing and funny books to come along since "Fight Club", you will be almost immediately disappointed in the first half-hour of watching this meandering and stumbling plod-given-plot, that you will be pulling out your hair asking, "Why, why, why?". Nothing gells here, everything that was humor, has been cast aside, I would presume for the director's bloated and overrated talent. By all means, skip and read the book again....that, I will guarantee you, will never dissatisfy.
Given that it is considered impossible to turn a Pynchon book into a film this a great movie. Joaquin Phoenix is great as is the screenplay. When in the Golden State don't cross the Golden Fang.

The rewatchability of this movie is crazy. PTA does it again.
It's actually a great movie although a lot on here don't like it. The first time I watched it I wasn't crazy about it due to extremely complicated plot. After giving it another shot and taking it for what it is, the movie is beautifully shot and has an amazing soundtrack. If you have only seen it once, watch it again and relax. You notice more that way. The dialogue is silly and the atmosphere is wonderful. Definitely a great of 2014
I love movies…….all kinds of movies. This one i could not finish watching. Endless amount of BORING!!!
The film maintains a cast of notable actors but the script and dialogue is often rambling and incoherent. I watched the movie two times and feel the purchase and rental price should be $2.99 and $.99. Save your money, folks.
This movie had an amazing trailer. Who ever created it was VERY talented, because this movie SUCKED!!!!!
I loved Boogie Nights, but this movie tried hard to be something and never became anything but annoying. I kept thinking that something would happen to make this movie more enjoyable and worth watching, but it just kept getting worse. If you are a Paul Thomas Anderson fan do yourself a favor and DO NOT WATCH THIS!
An advise, do not waist your time or money on this...
