Reviews
Los Angeles Times - ...The boldest and most imaginative studio film of the year..., Box Office - ...A wickedly funny movie....It's refreshingly unique..., New York Times - ...Mr. Cage and Mr. Jonze share a casual, daredevil sensibility, and the two of them -- or should I say the three of them? -- pull off one of the most amazing technical stunts in recent film history..., Rolling Stone - ...Few scripts toss more challenging balls in the air, and Jonze juggles them all with artful, light-stepping ease. It's magic..., Variety - ...Every bit as clever and surprising as MALKOVICH....Streep gives a quietly alert performance that permits emotional revelation in well-judged stages..., Total Film - ...It has all the pleasing confusion of an optical illusion....A dizzying, unique work..., USA Today - ...Cage gives one of his best performances..., Entertainment Weekly - ...[Featuring] Nicolas Cage in his lightest, loosest, best performance since MOONSTRUCK....ADAPTATION demonstrates that Kaufman, the real Charlie Kaufman, has a rare and really weird talent....The guy is fun..., Premiere - ...ADAPTATION is life-affirming...

Additional Information
Following up their acclaimed debut, BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, screenwriter Charlie Kaufman and director Spike Jonze are back to metaphysical moviemaking with ADAPTATION. The film stars Nicolas Cage as both Charlie Kaufman and his fictionalised identical twin brother Donald. While the boisterous Donald freeloads off his sibling and works on a serial-killer movie script, Charlie is tormented by both his own army of neuroses and his new project, adapting Susan Orlean's book THE ORCHID THIEF into a screenplay. As Charlie struggles to shape the nonfiction novel into a film, he begins writing himself into the story of Orlean (Meryl Streep), a sad-eyed journalist, and her subject, renegade Florida flower expert John Laroche (Chris Cooper). The resulting tale extends far beyond the scope of the book, stretching from Hollywood to New York to...Hollywood four billion years ago.
Equally as inventive as BEING JOHN MALKOVICH, ADAPTATION revels in its gloriously absurd premise. Kaufman and Jonze skillfully sidestep the pitfalls of such a seemingly self-indulgent project, creating a multilayered film that focuses on the writing process as well as the nature of beauty, the beauty of nature, and dozens of other significant themes. Cage makes a stunning return to pre-Bruckheimer form in the roles of the Kaufman brothers, giving their identical appearances completely different personalities and making them believable to boot. Meanwhile, the consistently excellent Streep and the often underrated Cooper are perfectly matched as Orlean and Laroche. Even the less central roles are played by great actors--Brian Cox, Tilda Swinton, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Ron Livingston appear as supporting characters. Careening wildly between the hilarious, the ridiculous, and the poignant, Kaufman and Jonze's ADAPTATION is another fine example of their bravura yet sincere style of cinema.

Orchid
A film made by the guys who directed 'Being John Malkovich' (Spike Jonze) and starring Nicholas Cage in two parts (he plays identical twins, both of them screenwriters) and Meryl Streep and the awesome Chris Cooper as an author and a flower officiando (an 'orchid hunter') respectively. This is totally off the wall. Loosely the plot is that Streep has written a book about Cooper which then gets bought into a film. The film begins as one of the brothers played by Cage is requested to write the screenplay but instead of writing a something based on an interpretation of the book, he prefers to outline the story of Streep interviewing Cooper and the relationship that develops between them as the original book was being transcribed. In doing this though, he intrinsically puts himself, and by default his brother into the screenplay. This is a great watch. Nic Cage does a sterling job of playing identical twins, but even he, and the formidable Streep, get blasted out the water by Mr Chris Cooper as John Laroche. He is fantastic. This is a twisty weird story that would appeal to any fans of the gently weird and wonderful. The joy is the rich kooky characters. Adaptation makes for a funny and thought provoking watch.Read full review

Charlie Kaufman rocks!
Another brilliant script from CK. Written in between Being John Malkovich and the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind it tells the story of Charlie Kaufman and his brother who are both trying to write scripts. CHarlie is trying to adapt a book about an orchid hunter whilst his brother is writing a high action film. Reality and fiction blur wonderfully is this film. If you've an ambition to be a writer then this is an excellent film to watch and understand.

Never use voice-overs
I love voice-overs and this movie's full of them. A story told as few others about hunting for orchids, being a writer and the golden boy in a family - having your brother wanting, and succeeding to be just like you. About the pressure of fitting in - adapting and making sense of it all.. I'm amazed at how this movie tells it's story, and although i usually dread N. Cage I forgive him for most of his other performances after the one he does here. There's also that thing you love about Kaufmann-stories, all the weirdness that you get to experience... it truly would be a great loss not to step into his world.

Adaptation review by meera051080
Its a great film with a unique plot, very compelling watching even though it seems as nothing is developing. I like the narative of the film, and Nicholas Cage performs in his best role in a long time.
