   Is adaptation a true story?

   • Charlie Kaufman 's screenplay for "Adaptation." (2002) has it three ways. It is wickedly playful in its construction, it gets the story told, and it doubles back and kids itself. There is also the sense that to some degree it's true: that it records the torments of a screenwriter who doesn't know how the hell to write a movie about orchids.

   Is adaptation a good movie?

   • What a bewilderingly brilliant and entertaining movie this is--a confounding story about orchid thieves and screenwriters, elegant New Yorkers and scruffy swamp rats, truth and fiction. "Adaptation" is a movie that leaves you breathless with curiosity, as it teases itself with the directions it might take.

   Does adaptation have a melodramatic ending?

   • When so many screenplays fall apart in the final act, there's something piquant in the fact that Adaptation does too. A very strange, frantically melodramatic ending brings Susan Orlean, John Laroche and the Kaufmans together in real time for a big showdown, for which this quirky, brainy comedy has certainly not prepared us adequately.
