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".

Obviously, director/writer Joanou thinks the events depicted in Entropy are world-class crazy. Personally, I've had crazier weekends.Married someone you didn't know in Vegas? Trite. Get caught getting a blow job on a plane? You know the response. Losing your girlfriend because of your brain-dead reaction to her pregnancy? Hardly the first time. Climb out of a window to escape? Who hasn't done it?Secondly, don't you get the feeling poor old Jake sees himself as the victim all the way through?Joanou seems to be so literal about some things in his story when he shouldn't have been and glosses over the things he should be deadly truthful about, such as his relationship with Stella.At the beginning I wonder why Stella is interested in him unless, of course... and she does reveal she knows he is directing a film in their first meeting. Ah, but no, her original love-at-first-sight motive is left to stand.And even in the end, am I supposed to think Stella hasn't found anyone else(presumably because Jake can't be replaced), that they are truly star-crossed lovers, doomed to live on opposite sides of the Atlantic because of something weird and un-translatable in Stella's brain?

Had a chance to catch this on cable..started watching, fully intending to see what else was on, and before I knew it, it was over. Very original, very entertaining, and a terrific movie!...and I loved the smoking cat!!

If you're looking for a film that exists entirely in the reality of the daily world as most people know it, than perhaps you won't appreciate this film. But if you're looking for a film whose main character is as neurotic as you imagine yourself to be, and who follows those bad instincts you always wish you would, that this will be a fun movie for you. Stephen Dorff is wonderful in this movie, although at times he sounds like he's trying to be Christian Slater, there are certain echoes of Woody Allen in an "Annie Hall" kind of way. Phillip Joanou makes some very inventive decisions, often breaking reality, and allowing Dorff's character Jake, to tell the story solely from his own perspective. Is it the most original movie in the world? No, but it has U2, in fact Bono plays a prominent role at times, and it takes place in New York, LA, Las Vegas, and Paris, so you know it has to be hip.
