SKINOPSISPatricia Arquette spends a whole lot of this dark comedy running through the woods and climbing trees naked as the day she was born (only with much bigger chest patties.) Sometimes, she's covered with hair, but more often than not, she's smooth like a baby's bottom. This sexy "Medium" graces us with a little hint of bush to go along with all the boob and butt which makes our Human Nature tell us to go find some lube and let out some humanity. -- Rick Stanko

REVIEW
A totally gonzo if somewhat uneven comedy of evolution, libido and table manners. Robbins is a stiff, socially comatose scientist obsessed with teaching dining etiquette to apes. Arquette is his wife and assistant, secretly accursed with a runaway follicle condition. Ifans is their newest subject, a man who was raised in the wilderness and who's now their captive in the name of scientific research. Charlie Kaufman's unconventional screenplay shoots off in several wildly tangential directions — and the ending just sort of falls apart (just as in Being John Malkovich) — but his quirky commentary on instinct versus conditioning offers enough moments of bizarre levity and wry introspection to make up for its increasingly loosey-goosey narrative. Rookie director Gondry, graduating to features from music videos, demonstrates a distinctive visual style that would eventually serve him better in 2004's Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
