Fraught with over obvious symbolism, Hartley's early feature is nonetheless a joy to watch. Hal here shows us his uncanny ability to cast his characters perfectly came early in his career.
Adrienne Shelley is a near perfect foil to herself, equal parts annoying teen burgeoning in her sexuality (though using sex for several years); obsessed with doom and inspired by idealism gone wrong she is deceptively – and simultaneously – complex and simple. Her Audrey inspires so many levels of symbolism it is almost embarrassingly rich (e.g., her modeling career beginning with photos of her foot – culminating her doing nude (but unseen) work; Manhattan move; Europe trip; her stealing, then sleeping with the mechanics wrench, etc.)
As Josh, Robert Burke gives an absolutely masterful performance. A reformed prisoner/penitent he returns to his home town to face down past demons, accept his lot and begin a new life. Dressed in black, and repeatedly mistaken for a priest, he corrects everyone ("I'm a mechanic"), yet the symbolism is rich: he abstains from alcohol, he practices celibacy (is, in fact a virgin), and seemingly has taken on vows of poverty, and humility as well. The humility seems hardest to swallow seeming, at times, almost false, a pretense. Yet, as we learn more of Josh we see genuineness in his modesty, that his humility is indeed earnest and believable. What seems ironic is the character is fairly forthright in his simplicity, yet so richly drawn it becomes the viewer who wants to make him out as more than what he actually is. A fascinatingly written character, perfectly played.
The scene between Josh and Jane (a wonderful, young Edie Falco . . . "You need a woman not a girl") is hilarious . . . real. But Hartley can't leave it as such and his trick, having the actors repeat the dialogue over-and-over becomes frustratingly "arty" and annoying . . . until again it becomes hilarious. What a terrific sense of bizarre reality this lends the film (like kids in a perpetual "am not"/"are too" argument).
Hartley's weaves all of a small neighborhood's idiosyncrasies into a tapestry of seeming stereotypes but which delves far beneath the surface, the catalyst being that everyone believes they know what the "unbelievable truth" of the title is, yet no two people can agree (including our hero) on what exactly that truth is. A wonderful little movie with some big ideas.
纯搞笑的商业电影，布拉德皮特很给面子来客串
跟小朋友一起看的，也看的津津有味，就是不知道是不是真的有这样的物种
查宁的身材是唯一看点。。
创意不错 剧情就还行 甜甜圈挺可爱的 可能比较适合小孩子看哈哈哈
好家伙，人均嘴炮选手。钱老板不行就下海吧……
剧情就不说了。。。。。女主整的连妈都不认识了。。。。
带孩子一起进电影院看的第一部电影，对于我来说是一种特殊的美好回忆，再加上确实不错，我给了五星。
我觉得可以7分吧，剧中的各种造型很加分，小白的反转也有点意外，最后结尾还是蛮刺激，是适合小朋友和大人的喜剧，国庆嗨翻天就ok了。缺点是中文翻译有太多网络词，违和，显得无聊了。
周末带娃看了这个，挺好的创意（物种灭绝），挺好的教育意义（哪种动物在何时灭绝，以及各个年代都发生了哪些影响世界的大事），可惜普通话版本翻译的太差了，我猜译者是20+或30+，普通话版本中太多网络词汇了，这是给孩子看的动画片啊，孩子们哪懂网络语言啊，而且这网络语言能做到信、达、雅么？有原声，我肯定以后带娃要选原声！
比另外一部电影化的好点吧。两个主演的外形都比较还原漫画，但是演技就呃呃了
没想到小狗狗竟是坏狗，时空之花真是太棒啦！
最喜欢的是放着happy end的集风，台风，海浪，树枝摇晃的那一段….除此之外，这青春有点太疯狂了吧
创意不错 剧情就还行 甜甜圈挺可爱的 可能比较适合小孩子看哈哈哈
疼痛的青春片，反应日本现实年轻人的问题。
211118 没想到是华谊的作品 但是编剧是老外 神奇组合 菲拉萌真的super cute 甜甜圈圆滚滚看着很好rua 就是很简单的剧情 但是那么可爱的狗狗居然是反派！不能忍 也太坏了 而且坏到了结尾 难受
6. 万勿想到 在探险这个类型片里 下限也是可以很低的.
萌即正义！！太可爱了马阳阳的小白可爱得我要晕过去了！最后爱德居然和朵蒂好上了是我没想到的哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈
皮特好帅，查宁也挺帅hhhhh 很普通典型的搞笑爱情片，看预告就知道是什么故事了，但最近还挺想看看这种没什么营养的片子，和预料的一样
小葡萄电影院看的第一部电影，纪念一下。反派的突然反转让4岁的小朋友有点难以接受，可能他心目中的反派还是那些只会搞搞恶作剧，但本心还是善良的人。其他都还行吧。
男主轻抚女主的脸颊又放下，说「やめとくわ、最後まで振り回されたくない」是我全片最喜欢的台词。
