Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: It is difficult for me to describe how sweet and buoyant I found the film, despite its seemingly excessive stylization.
Rotten: An ambitious but disjointed spoof of New Age quirks and quacks that attempts to simultaneously put down and lift up. But, despite the A-list ensemble, it accomplishes neither.
Fresh: It's a mad, mad, mad, mad, meaningful world, indeed.
Fresh: A rewarding- frustrating smart-silly comedy of pretentious- modest ambitions.

Zen Buddhism in a film
This is one of the few movies that really cover man of the aspects of Buddhism philosophie without being upfront about it. It's a great film with good acting and script. However, it's not for everyone though.
GGGGGGGreat FliC!
Loved this movie. Really loved it. Its the kind of movie to own. And I do not normally think that. You can get things from it again and again. Please make it for sale not rent.
