2freensel I saw this movie before reading any reviews, and I thought it was very funny. I was very surprised to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews this film received from critics.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

gavin6942 Fletcher Munson, the lethargic employee of a pseudo-religious self help company, and his doppelganger, the friendly but dull dentist Dr. Jeffrey Korchek (both played by Steven Soderbergh).The film comparable in some ways to the earlier work of Richard Linklater (notably "Slacker"), mixed in with the visual sensibility of a Devo music video. I am not sure if this is experimental, or art house, or how you categorize something that has no real plot, and sometimes no real logic. There is a certain genius to it, though.I am not overly familiar with Soderbergh, probably having seen less than half of his feature films... but this one will definitely leave you with the impression that he is a genius, an eccentric and an artist. Whether or not this is true, I have no idea... but he wants us to think so.

tedg I am glad that Soderbergh is making films, even if every other one is a glossy mess. Like many filmmakers, he lives in and loves the medium. Unlike most of them, he experiments in film with things that matter — and he does it while pretending it is a joke.This will be seen by many as a bizarre hoax, a vanity project, a sandbox. But I think not; I receive it as a small, complex personal project. His marriage was falling apart. He was baffled by matters of duality: simultaneous understanding and confusion. So he made a film featuring himself and his already ex-wife. In it, time faces itself; everyone has dual lives among which they shift.You'll only get part of what is going on the first time around, but this rewards multiple viewings.Ted's Evaluation -- 3 of 3: Worth watching.

giocondo-fulbright Wow, dudes are falling over themselves to praise this movie on IMDb (as of this writing)! Maybe for, like, a "film buff" it's a big deal that somebody made such an aggressively chaotic movie? Whatever. If you're a comedy fan before you're a film fan, then you'll recognize that randomness is not absurdity, and that Schizopolis presents too much of the former. There are whole scenes wherein characters talk in gibberish, speaking real but ostensibly silly words--("nose army", "landmine")--that have no apparent connection to what's happening. And... that's all that's going on. It's like being expected to laugh solely because Weird Al Yankovic said "Albequerque". Some of the movie's lines and ideas are much sharper than this, but too much of its humor is at the pre-teen/grandpa level.It appears that absurdity is the central point of this movie--in other regards, Schizopolis isn't beautiful enough or comprehensible enough to matter very much. But unfortunately, on the whole, this movie is not much more than mildly odd.

Ii_fut_in_gura_pe_stelisti IMDb mark: 4I sincerely wonder why Steven Soderbergh made this film. Could anyone really identify oneself with the deranged main character(s) from this film? Moreover, to snub people who aren't likely to enjoy this film, a guy says in the beginning something like "if you do not understand this film, it is your fault, not ours; you will have to see the film again". However, it's not the understanding I had problems with, although it is tough to figure everything out; the problem is I was yawning after 45 minutes, even though I had waken up just 5 hours before.-Humour: Well, you can spot a few comedy moments, but they are only funny in a weird, sad, twisted sort of way. Additional generic remark about the humour in said film. (!-you'll understand this sentence after you see the film-!) 6/25-Physical Comedy: It's not much better here, either. Many absurd situations arise and the consequences are absurd, too. And is that crazy guy who runs from the men in white supposed to be funny? 7/20-Plot: The plot is very twisted, too. Dr. Jeffrey Korchek, Fletcher Munson and his wife are all involved in an amorous triangle, and the other characters in the film influence their decisions and relationships. The film is divided into three parts, one for each of the three main characters. 11/15-Ending: The ending is not bad for this movie. I liked it. Of course, taste varies. 7/10-Theme: I couldn't come up with a theme for this movie, other than the well-known expression "It's a mad, mad world...". There are, probably, many possible interpretations for this artsy film. 2/10-Nudity: There is no nudity in this film. 0/8-Cast: Steven Soderbergh is the only well-known person who acts in 'Schizopolis'. 1/8-Genre: This tries to be a comedy. 3/4-->Overall: 37/100This is sort of interesting to watch once, I guess, perhaps just because it is so odd. But I seriously doubt whether one would like to watch it again. From Swordlord, 1 sword down!
