Starring: Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges.
If you're looking for thrilling action, car chases, exploding things, bare breasts, or cars that chase exploding breasts, skip this movie. It's more of a slow, plodding, thinking movie.
The basic plot: Prot (prounounced Prote, played by Kevin Spacey) is a guy that seemingly shows up out of nowhere, wears sunglasses because he "forgot your planet is really bright," and ends up in a mental institution. Jeff Bridges is Mark, the psychiatrist that gets assigned to him.
Kevin Spacey, to me, was worth the price of admission. I loved how his character morphed and twisted and turned... a fine actor he is. There's a few fun surprises in this flick, and a nice twist at the end. I'm giving it 4 stars out of 5. :-)

I wrote a review on Xanga.
I thought it might be one of those movies you eventually see on cable in a motel room, and was wholly acceptable as such. Spacey and Bridges rule, but such a weak weak story.

I read the plot (and ending) at a moviespoilers.com
So I can spend the $7 on seeing "Monsters, Inc." again!

Anything with Kevin Spacey in it is worth watching.

I know I'm clueless... but what other stuff is he great in? I'd like to rent it.

The Big Kahuna
Glengarry Glen Ross
Swimming With Sharks
Not bad in The Ref
Seven
He was the voice of the bad guy grasshopper in A Bug's Life
He's good in Pay It Forward, but the movie's a bit treacle-y.
If you can ever catch him on Saturday Night Live or a talk show, he's usually good. He likes to do impressions and he's very funny despite the overall dramatic roles he takes.

It's that good boy, do the right thing with just a hint of smoldering bad boy beneath.
