Wow, this is bleeding terrible. Gondry is a textbook example of a director whose visual genius is in direct opposition to his horrible writing skills. It's telling that his best film was written by Charlie Kaufman. I mean, this (and Green Hornet) are downright embarassing.

I haven't read the Boris Vian novel, but I've read I Spit On Your Graves and I refuse to believe the original text is this cheesy.

Gondry's has re-cut this for North American release resulting it in being 36 minutes shorter. Think that could help it towards something better from your stance on it?

And I can't really agree with Gondry not being able to handle his own material since I really like Be Kind Rewind and found something as recent as his We And The I from last year pretty stellar. Plus he didn't write Green Hornet, and though I still think it has some brilliantly inventive moments, even Rogen & Goldberg have now said it was was a completely mismatched, unwieldy experience for everyone involved.

Maybe I was too harsh because I had just seen a really bad movie, 36 minutes shorter or not. I haven't seen We and the I​ and I Will and the I Too.
