I Heart Huckabees is a 2004 existential comedy film directed by David O. Russell. The husband-and-wife team in question are Albert (Jason Schwartzman), an environmental activist, and his girlfriend, Lily (Naomi Watts), who runs a catering business.
The film follows Albert's quest to understand the interconnectedness of all things, spurred on by a series of odd coincidences and encounters. He seeks the help of two existential detectives, Bernard (Dustin Hoffman) and Vivian (Lily Tomlin), who specialize in helping people uncover the underlying causes of their problems.
As the duo investigates Albert's case, they meet a cast of eccentric characters, including Tommy (Mark Wahlberg), a former firefighter who has become disillusioned with the superficiality of modern life, and Brad (Jude Law), a shallow executive at the titular Huckabees department store.
As the investigations continue, the characters become entangled in a web of irony and coincidence, struggling to find meaning behind their seemingly random lives.
I Heart Huckabees is a surreal, quirky film that explores complex philosophical ideas with humor and wit. It received mixed reviews upon its release but has since gained a cult following for its unique style and inventive storytelling.
