A really intelligent 'slice of life' film that
circles the search for happiness.
This
film observes the theory that 'fate smiles on
some and laughs at others', and ponders whether
we are all living a random series of chance
events that have no relevance to our actions or
intentions.

Made by
the same team that brought us "Clockwatchers,"
"Thirteen Conversations About One Thing" is is
an uneven but somewhat interesting film that
shoots high and makes it about halfway. The film
is essentially an essay on what makes us happy,
but Todd Solondz provides a much more satisfying
cinematic experience in his film "Happiness."
Alan Arkin and John Turturro do wonders with the
material, but McConaughey is out of his league
here. This film is moderately successful, but
once I was done watching the film I was also
done thinking about it.
