Reviews


80
Newsweek - Unnamed
Kaufman's new script isn't as inspired as "Malkovich." It's a precious little concoction -- the B-plus work of a madcap genius.
75
San Francisco Chronicle - Mick LaSalle
The result is a satisfying and original picture.
70
The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps
Nature lacks a little of Malkovich's freshness, but that's just about all it lacks.
63
Boston Globe - Unnamed
It's just weirdness for the sake of weirdness, and where ''Human Nature'' should be ingratiating, it's just grating.
60
Washington Post - Stephen Hunter
In truth, I didn't care much for it, while respecting it a great deal. It's self-consciously childish and "innocent," and everything is overdrawn to cartoon dimension.
