Weird, I had the exact opposite response concerning the "rewatch value". In fact, more than any more I've seen in the last couple of years, I think this movie actually demands to be watched more than once. I felt like I needed to see it again as soon as I got out of the theater, just because I felt like I had missed things -- or at least needed to see it again just to cement the film together better.
Great movie, though. One of my faves of the year for sure.

I've watched it a few times so far and every time you get a deeper enjoyment of it.
Also seeing Michelle Sinclair in a general release movie is amazing.

I've been looking forward to this since seeing the trailer a few months back. Havent seen a local release date yet though. Looks like a thriller that's escaped from, say, 1995 when it could have been released among the likes of One Night At McCools, Get Shorty and Out Of Sight. Those movies were a lot of fun."Never let the fact that they are doing it wrong stop you from doing it right." Hyman Mandell.

Liked it. A lot. Not exactly what I expected from the trailer, but damn good. A trippy parody of the detective story type tale, but with just the right tone of humour."No presh from the Dresh!"

I'll just go ahead and be the dissenting voice here. I don't like Anderson. Boogey Nights was fun I guess but otherwise I struggle. 70s detectives is just so my wheelhouse though that I had to see this. I was struggling from the get go. I don't know if you guys can understand a word coming out of Phoenix's mumbling mouth but I sure as hell couldn't. It's an ugly son of a bitch too. Whacky camera work that I suppose is supposed to be a bit experimental but really comes off as amatuerish. And it's all quirky as fuck. I hate quirky. If you want to be different then have the balls to be downright strange, don't just settle for quirky. I can't comment too much on the plot- it seemed stupid- because twenty five minutes in my girlfriend shut it off with a "I just can't take it anymore!" I didn't blame her though it does demonstrate a worrying lack of fortitude. I think Brolin was good... but then Brolin is always good..."Never let the fact that they are doing it wrong stop you from doing it right." Hyman Mandell.

That being said, I liked the film quite a bit. I loved that it didn't go "downright strange" because that would have been easy. I think it actually came out stranger, more pervasive, now that it didn't overdo it. I can fully understand why it would be too much for many, though. But I think it had its odd charm plus wonderful performances and a great 1970s atmosphere. I saw it on Saturday I could already watch it again I think.

The title of the thread is off - there were many passionate fans of the movie and it did get two Oscar nominations.
That said, I found it a semi-coherent mess. Anderson seems to have difficulty ever having movies with a consitant beginning, middle and end. His best movies - THERE WILL BE BLOOD & BOOGIE NIGHTS - devolved into chaos at the end (and, don't even start on MAGNOLIA!). There are some nice acting bits, and the period atmosphere is interesting, if a bit too consciously arty. But, the photography was wonderful - and, shot on 35MM film!
I guess those who want to just let the film just wash over you may enjoy it, and the Anderson fanatics will re-watch it until they "get it", but, once was plenty for me.
