Tagline: Charlie Kaufman writes the way he lives... With Great Difficulty. His Twin Brother Donald Lives the way he writes... with foolish abandon. Susan writes about life... But can't live it. John's life is a book... Waiting to be adapted. One story... Four Lives... A million ways it can end.

Plot Summary: Frequently cynical screenwriter Charlie Kaufman has just taken on a new assignment. That is, to adapt writer Susan Orlean's "The Orchid Thief" into a screenplay, all of it based on the life of the eccentric John Laroche, an exotic plant collector based out of Florida. While his easygoing twin brother Donald, is writing scripts with ease, Charlie finds himself on a perpetual struggle that never seems to end.

Comments: A Creative Breath of Fresh Air. A hilarious Hollywood/Anti-Hollywood romp. The ever reliable Streep gives her best performance in years and the too-lately often barely tolerable Cage shines as the Kaufman twins. Chris Cooper's over-the-top performance is both touching and hilarious. Adaptation is a breath of fresh air far away from the usual Hollywood smog. Jones and company should keep 'em coming!
