Synopsis
I ♥ Huckabees (2004) is David O. Russell's existential comedy you can watch online on iFILM. A young environmental activist hires a pair of "existential detectives" to figure out why his life keeps falling apart.
Dustin Hoffman and Lily Tomlin play the married philosophers who trail their clients and rummage through their minds instead of doing any real surveillance. Their case, Albert (Jason Schwartzman), is fighting to save a marsh from a slick executive at the Huckabees retail chain, played by Jude Law. Mark Wahlberg shows up as a furious firefighter, and Isabelle Huppert's French nihilist offers a far bleaker theory of how the universe works. Everyone is chasing the same question: is anything connected to anything else?
Russell stages this debate about meaning as a slapstick farce, with characters smacking each other in the face with a rubber ball mid-monologue. Naomi Watts fills out the busy cast. It's not for everyone, but the people who love it keep coming back. Stream I ♥ Huckabees (2004) online on iFILM.
