What a disjointed, contrived mess this is. So I'll style my review after the movie:This guy talking to the camera all the time. I don't like being pandered to. This movie is like someone who did something bad to you (i.e. the movie) but he keeps talking and being in your face to you trying to convince you to like his movie and not to hit him. How many clichéd personas exactly are in this movie? It even has a Soprano type guy, a European girl who shows her mammaries, et cetera.Amateurish Acting (AA) - I love failed movies like this for the use of unknown actors you are glad never to see in any other movie again. Oh but let me put a word in about Lauren Holly - uh...not good. The plot is irrelevant. It's probably a sort of autobiography anyway. The "hero" has directed U2 in the past - surprisingly the director has directed U2's "Rattle and Hum". Wow...And lastly the title: "Entropy" - I don't care about why it was decided to use that title but it surely makes the target viewers (US college students) go back and check the meaning of the word they have decided to ignore in one of last year's classes. Heck - I'll go out on a limb and speculate that the true meaning of the title is this: A mess that keeps getting more and more of a mess.An alternative way of being entertained would be reading the wishy-washy entry of entropy on Wikipedia. Enjoy and be "sillyfied".

I watched ten minutes and forced myself to stop. I had so much hate for those who created and funded this movie, and I was afraid I would take it out on nearby innocent people who were not supporting the dissemination of this film. The script is horrible; while I cannot quote the dialogue specifically (mind clouded by hate and all), I remember cringing from the first line onward. And then there is the narrative style- which I think works when the character is extremely likable (Ferris Bueller) or extremely verbal (High Fidelity), but just does not go over so well when the main character is just self-obsessed and painfully annoying. I also saw the coffee shop scene, and agonized over what was causing me to poke at my eyes with a fork- was it the inane dialogue or the lifeless acting of that woman? Perhaps I will never be sure. I turned the TV off right after Dorff turns to the camera during their `love' scene, as it was the straw that broke the camel's back, and I think my remote control when I threw it at the television. Maybe it gets better.maybe it starts over after ten minutes? I only hope that there is a reason for other people liking this film. I love Bono as much as the next guy, but neither God nor Bono could save the soul of the writer/director responsible for this abomination.

This is a marvellous film. It's creative and almost refreshing, even with its not so happy ending. I've been reading other comments and some people seem a bit bothered by the film's perspective and presentation. Jake is not a character that you can fall in love with. But you can empathize. He's self-centered, egotistical, creative...i found the narration scenes wonderful, what better way to narrate a film about a film maker, than to have the character physically narrating, instead of just a voice over. I know a few film makers/students and they are alot like Jake, i felt that was portrayed quite accurately. I liked the relationship between Jake and Stella...i liked the feeling of being swept away, but being afraid at the same time. The scene with the cat was great because it showed you right there that Jake is not all there in the head, which made me laugh even more when i thought back to the comment in the beginning about models being insane, and the hint that Stella might be insane herself. I think you can relate to Jake's character if you've ever loved someone and messed up and let them go, or if you're a stella, someone who was hurt by selfish acts such as Jake's (like when he got upset because she was busy working and couldn't talk to him, when he had done the same to her). Anyway it's a great film, and the characters fit perfectly together, even Bono is wonderful and not at all out of place. Highly reccommended. I gave it a 9.

OK, so I think some people have every right to dislike this movie- it's silly, it's predictable, and it doesn't really have what I would call a hook. But I really enjoyed. Maybe because it just doesn't mirror what I expect from this genre of movie- or maybe because Stephen Dorff is more interesting every time I see another movie with him in it.. Remember "The Power Of One"? I gave this movie an 8 because I wasn't expecting to like the movie at all when I rented it, but it surprised me by not being what I expected at all (while still fulfilling every predictable aspect of a romantic comedy in the 90's)... Rent it only if you also rent a movie you know you will like.
