Entropy is a semi-autobiographical film which tells the story of a young director struggling to make a film for a despotic studio while his life falls apart around him. Along the way, he goes on tour with U2 to help them make a music video, gets married in Vegas, and has a conversation with his cat.

This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

Aubrey Hackett

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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".

Lots of nice minimal jokes. Surreal amusing look at a young Hollywood director's search for the perfect partner. His life falls apart, in an affable way - he's likable. My scratched rental DVD jammed appropriately enough about half way, where there's a turning point. The picture blocked and jittered (almost a technique used in the movie) and ten minutes later the fun began, for me, with the introduction of the gorgeous Kelly Macdonald. If you've ever felt your work or love life's collapsing, and seen the irony of it, you might enjoy this film. It's a sweet story, nothing gruesome or sleazy. Music's minimal and appropriate. No sentimentality - not a trace. Just a nice bloke trying to find love.

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.

Entropy has some of the most amazing photography I have seen in a long while. Not that it's outstanding and industry-shattering, but it's put together in amazing shots that leaves one just simply impressed. The surreal part of the film nicely blended in with the normal part, showing the director's determination and love of it. Dorff gives an incredible, unbelievably awesome performance that's truly worth your while.
