Director:  Spike Jonze

Note:  Minor spoilers ahead

I will give her credit for this - it is not laughable.  This premise could've very easily fallen apart and been a Hindenburg-sized disaster, except it'd be a Hindenburg you laugh at.  So the film works on that level.  And the film's dialogue writing is pretty excellent.  Setting a film in the near-future is one of the trickiest things to do.  Even more tricky is setting a film in the near-future while having it be about mundane day-to-day life - this movie is not really interested in the world around the movie (good thing, too, because that's almost certainly its largest weakness).  It's a large story inside a small story inside a large story, and the performances carry the smallness of the story perfectly.  Johansson does incredible voice work - rarely does voice work have to convey the range that she manages here.
