Here We Go: Joaquin Phoenix plays a degenerate sailor with nothing to do but drink himself to death. He meets up with a charismatic "genius," played by Phillip Seymour Hoffman, and the two immediately take to each other. This is should be a character study, but instead is an exercise in pretension. Phoenix's character is abrasive and crude, while Hoffman is by far the best part, as a charlatan who may or may not be based on Scientologist creator L. Ron Hubbard.
Bottom Line: Skip it, and watch one of P.T. Anderson's good flicks. Also NOT kid safe, random sex with sand, and bizarre old lady nudity for no reason.
