I'm not worried. People are welcome to whatever kinds of existential crises they desire (or don't desire). My disappointment lies mainly in expectation. For the most part, the film was appreciated by several people whose taste I normally agree with, but this film left me feeling bored, flat and unchallenged philosophically, which was definitely *not* what I expected. A lot of that had to do with the characters -- or rather, caricatures. I suppose I'm invested in the idea that real people are more interesting and complex than what was portrayed in the film. I think that while the film is aiming for an intelligent satire, what it gets is a rather flat and sophmoric portrayal of what searches for meaninfulness (or chaos for that matter) really can be in normal individuals' lived experiences.
