Editorial Reviews

Director Spike Jonze delivers a stunningly original comedy that seamlessly blends fictional characters and situations with the lives of real people: obsessive orchid hunter John Laroche (Cooper), NewYorker journalist Susan Orlean (Streep), Hollywood screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (Cage), and his twin brother, Donald (also Cage). As Charlie struggles to adapt Orlean's best-selling book "The OrchidThief," he writes himself into his own movie. The various stories crash into one another exploding into a wildly imaginative film. ADAPTATION, the year's most talked about movie, is at once a hilarious drama and a moving comedy.

4.0 out of 5 starsADAPTATION: Well worth it.
By Flap on February 9, 2016
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Surprisingly, this film is deceptive. Quite a rarified look from Cage, who who first see sweating profusely and about to require CPR. There's this rather dull set up and I will admit I came quite close to reaching for the plue, but something held me back. I don't think I could have foreseen the direction this process was headed, but I was suddenly very glad I had stayed on. Cage, Mr. "Go Ahead, Dislike Me" at every role, has a fun side. Absent goofy fun, or pratfalls. I am referring more to the subtle changes in his stance, his gaze, his body language became his art. I found him fascinating, and I do not use that word lightly.
Very pleased with the quirk of the story, and who becomes a hero vs who deserves to be a hero. I thought Streep held her range, only slightly dismissive, but totally willing to pursue opportunity, when available. The web woven here is between good and bad, but it won't be until the blistering end that the final pieces fall into place.
It's part love, part satire, part foul murder (?)-but you have to watch it first. I think any film where Nicolas Cage laughs and smiles is one to watch, sheer reversal of his always grim visage.

4.0 out of 5 starsA VERY GOOD FILM, A NOT SO GOOD DIGITAL PRESENTATION
By Cesar Diaz on February 23, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
I'm not going to make any comment on the film itself, which is one of those pieces that sticks, even if you don't quite get it, and even if you (like so many others out there) don't like Nicolas Cage. Suffice it to say that I think this film would deserve an upgrade every time there's a new digital format, but 1) the available transfers are not THERE yet; and 2) this disc has as many extras as a VHS tape. If you already own it on DVD, it wouldn't make too much sense to buy the BR. Now, if you're new to the film, by all means, go get the BD: the slight improvement in both sound and image will make for a better experience. It's not a bad transfer. Let's say it's solid enough. But it's not like Jonze's "Her" by a good ten miles.

4.0 out of 5 starsMeta in just the right kind of way. Avoid this if you want not to think too hard while you watch a movie...
By Stephen F. Capone Jr. on June 16, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Meta. That's this movie. It's meta in just the kind of way that tickles me. It's tough to review this movie without spoiling anything. Here's what I appreciated about the film: it's a movie about a screenwriter who's run out of ideas for a project he's signed on to complete; it's about what he does in his efforts to complete the film, and it's about how the screenplay on which he's working finds its way. The screenplay takes on a life of its own and does what it must for our protagonist to achieve his mission. And it's a meta-commentary. About what, I can't say without giving away key plot elements that are much more fun to discover than to be told about... So give it a try. Unless you're not in a mood to think about the movie you're watching. Then find something else.

4.0 out of 5 starsMeta-cinema at its best core.
By Double T on February 15, 2016
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Adaptation is a funny yet thought provoking movie that sets the standards to meta-cinema.

The story is based on a novel named The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean(Meryl Streep), but main story of this movie centers around the writer of the movie itself Charlie Kaufman (Nicholas Cage), who is trying but failing to adapt the The Orchid Thief on the big screen. And that is all you need to know about the movie.

This is metafiction at its best core. Spike Lee delivers this movie on a self-aware level with a great by the writer himself that is hard to do in movie. The cast is fantastic in this movie with great preformances.

2.0 out of 5 starsso I was a little disappointed that they weren't able to make a movie about ...
By Naples 4 Kids on April 30, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
I'm from South Florida and know some hard core orchid aficionados, so I was a little disappointed that they weren't able to make a movie about flowers, fanaticism for flowers, passionate collecting of orchids. I did NOT like the hair piece the lead male actor wore, it looked fake, so his shlumpy persona made it uncomfortable to watch him. I wish they had focused more on the dynamic between the New Yorker Reporter and the Orchid Collector, that was they most interesting part. Films about Writers Block are painful.

5.0 out of 5 starsRobert McKee said my review was overused and pathetic
By R. Roberts on January 3, 2017
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
I could probably write a whole essay about this movie but you can find plenty through a simple search. Simply put, this is a meta film with dark humor and great acting. Reminds me of a Cohen bros film. Would recommend if you like any of their works. Lots of identity crisis and irony which often leads to laughs and surprises. My favorite part of the movie is the cliched and simple use of narrative voice from Nicholas Cage. Charlie Kaufman is a genius.

5.0 out of 5 starsI Can't Quite Understand ...
By Gio on August 11, 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
... why I don't hate this film! It's pretentious, meandering, self-indulgent, self-referential -- everything that typifies post-modernist literature -- and plot-driven without a plot. But hate it I don't. I won't go so far as to say I love it, but I watched it intently and found myself defending it from a couple of people who thought it was "boring and confusing". It was not boring, to me at any rate, and not at all confusing. If anything, it might not have been confusing enough. The meta-meanings were awfully obvious.

The premise of the un-plot is that screenwriter Charlie Kaufman has been hired to adapt a popular novel, The Orchid Thief by Susan Orlean, but suffers pathetic 'writer's block' over the task, eventually becoming obsessed with the author, whom he's never met, and stalking her until he discovers a shocking secret. Well now, Charlie Kaufman is the actual screenwriter of Adaptation but "Charlie Kaufman" is played in the film by Nicolas Gage, who also plays Charlie Kaufman's twin brother "Donald", while the real Donald Kaufman is given shared credit for the screenplay. Susan Orlean is a real writer for The New Yorker magazine and she really did write a book titled The Orchid Thief. In the film, she's played by Meryl Streep. Ms. Orlean has to be a very Good Sport about her work, since it is "adapted" with demonic abandon and portrays her in activities (imagined) that must have scandalized her colleagues and friends. The film's Charlie Kaufman is neurotic to the point of comedy, which is in fact the chief point of the comedy. His brother is utterly neurosis-clean but a bit of a dimwit. The focal character of Orlean's book is a shady Floridian misfit named John Laroche, the 'Orchid Thief' of the title.Read more ›
