We saw Adaptation. I thought the ending wasn't ironic enough, but as Stephen Hunter points out,
"Adaptation" turns into adaptation: Thriller aspects are thrown in, a car chase or two, a shootout, and each of the characters we thought was real is suddenly a movie cliche. Charlie even has an epiphany at the end and is a Sadder But Wiser man.
Yeah, I know the antic muse doesn't think much of him, (duh!), but I like Hunter's film criticism. His novels, however, are more disappointing.
