3. Eh ....
I was underwhelmed frankly. It's one of those movies that has parts that are cool, but doesn't really hang together as a whole. It's written by one of the guys that wrote Being John Malkovich and Adaptation. If you like quirky films you'll probably like it, but don't expect a linear plot.

6. "One of the guys" is Charlie Kaufman
And he's the only writer on those movies. I think it's the best he's written thus far. It's interesting, funny, sad, and it has a third act. Highly recommended.

5. Very good
I really liked it a lot. One of the reviews called it a love story as if written by Philip K. Dick. Pretty accurate description...

7. Rent it first. If you like it (I did, wife was lukewarm on it), then buy
it.
