Out of work and misunderstood puppeteer Craig Schwartz (Cusack) takes a job as a filling clerk to help his wife (Diaz) and him get some money together so they can afford to have a baby. After dropping a file behind a cabinet, he moves it away to find a small door. The door leads to a tunnel, which when he crawls into it pulls him into the mind of John Malkovich. Inside his head you see, hear and fell everything John does in his life for 15 minutes before it throws you out onto the edge of the New Jersey turnpike. Craig sees his as such a life changing experience him and his work partner Maxine (Keener) they set up a business charging $200 to be John Malkovich.

This is the most surreal, funny, touching and thought-provoking movie I have seen in a long, long time. With unbelievable performances from the central cast, but most convincingly Malkovich himself, this is the most unique film I have seen in a very long time. So original in concept and brilliantly directed by Spike Jonze, it is impossible to categorise this movie in anyone single genre. Hysterically funny and passionately addictive, this is a movie that I implore you to see. DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE
