Movie Haiku:John Cusack plays a morose puppeteer unhappily married to a pet shop owner (Cameron Diaz) mothering her sickest charges at home. Reconciling himself to a weird temp job, Cusack stumbles upon a portal into the brain of actor John Malkovich. Although quirky and funny, a serious meditation on personal identity.
