Good: Pretty funny. The whole first half is full of jabs at the art culture and schools. There is lots of talk of stereotypes of students, all of which are pretty spot on funny. It has a great cast, big names like John Malkovich and Anjelica Houston. John works does well as a down on his luck art school professor. Anjelica doesn’t really have much of a part, unfortunately. But even the unknowns do a good job.
Bad: Through out the movie there is an underlying serial killer story. While by the end of the movie it makes sense, it just didn’t do anything for me, personally. However, it does kind of work with the story and the whole idea of being a famous artist (trying not to spoil anything).
Mixed Feelings: The whole movie is filled with jabs at what it means to be an artist, which if you are an artist you can understand a lot of what is being said. But if you are not an artist, it might seem kind of boring and slow. The comedy of the first half is kind of drowned out by this weighty discussion of being an artist and what art is.

Comming from a family of Artists and knowing people who have gone to Art School I think I would appreciate this move. Plus....yea...my job. :)
I completely agree. The serial killer seemed oddly disjointed from the rest of the story, although I did appreciate the tie in at the end. All in all I thought it was a fun movie for anyone who has dealt with the "artistic" type.
