    Worth seeing for the last line

    Okay, maybe I just have a sentimental attachment to this movie. It's not the best film ever made, but it's worth the time to watch it. This is a rather quirky movie, and it is quite slow in parts; but Steven Dorff is great as Jake, a film maker who is struggling with his career and his love life. His love interest, Stella, is charming. If for no other reason, watch this movie for the last line. It won't change your life, but if you've ever let THE ONE get away, you will appreciate this parting wisdom.

    No expectations,no disappointments

    If your a U2 fan watch this film. If your a Trainspotting fan watch this film,(Kelly Macdonald has a small part). If your that 1 Lauren Holly fan out there watch this film. If your an average viewer, i advice you to watch this film but don't expect too much.I never heard of this film ,found it at the video store and was able to get it for free. it has really cool camera shots and has a fashionable groove to it however the script is the major disappointment in the film.The dialogue is somewhat cheesy if not pretentious.And the lead character played by Dorf seems to be an obvious replacement for Ewan Mecregor or that guy from Momento. Overall,if you don't have any expectations for this film you wont be disappointed. Don't buy it. Don't rent it. BUT if your buddy has it watch it.

    Eccentric, experimental and great!

    Fine almost-psychedelic-oriented comedy about romance, struggles in art work and just loosing your mind (and finding it back). The meaning of the word tells it all. Dorff offers a great performance. U2's performances in the movie are in the right spots and at the right time. Very experimental yet great results.

    Entropy is a must for people who like the first stages of Tarantino, the visual experimentation of Olver Stone and the hilarity of Woody Allen (strange but rather great mix!).

    I find it mind blowing that the plot begins with the narrator in an awful shape explaining the story and then gets to meet his own character and the movie goes on!

    The ending leaves you with a melancholic feeling because all us who are still attached to this world have experienced the "Entropy" after an intense experience what ever it was.

    See you in the journey to forever!

    Nice surprise!

    This was one of those movies that I caught by accident while flipping through the channels on a lazy Saturday afternoon, and I must say that it was a plesant surprise. Being a single college guy (for now, anyway), I can appreciate both the situations and the humor in this movie. The attractive characteristic of this film is that it does well portraying the lifestyle that any male 25-35 would like to have: Hottie for a girlfriend, making movies, and traveling with the greatest band ever. (Sweet loft apartment, by the way) Dorf does a good job playing an everyday character in a not-so-everyday career with a gorgeous girlfriend. (where did she come from? woo hoo!) Though a little quirky at times, this was a fun and entertaining movie made in that High Fidelity-like male perspective on relationships, full of narratives and quoteable lines

    "Relationships like Russian Roulette, or the lottery, depending on how you look at it. Either way, you can't win. "

    It captures that swept off your feet feeling that we can all identify with and what it's like to juggle attention between love and life and work and how unbelievably powerful the attraction to a person can be. Good directing, decent editing, better plot, laughed my butt off (get rid of the stupid cat scene). Great film!

    A good flick

    A very, very good flick, as a matter of fact. I really enjoy the director's style and the soundtrack was great. The story was well done and it was a perfect movie for a lazy Sunday afternoon. My wife and I talked about it after and to me, that's the sign of a good movie: something that makes you think and want to discuss.

      Jake: There are three truths in life: you are born, you will die, and things change. OK, maybe one more: everyone has their stella, and when they do, no one else can even compare.
