Shapeless and incoherent, "Inherent Vice" is so preoccupied trying to prove how clever and unconventional it can be it forgets to make any sense of itself.

It's basically 'The Big Lebowski' meets 'Chinatown' and it's twice as complicated but that's what makes 'Inherent Vice' so interesting and often entertaining. The cast is top notch and the proverbial barrel of laughs never runs dry even with a two and a half hour running time. I'm not familiar with Paul T. Anderson's filmography as a director and I've only seen 'There Will Be Blood' so I cannot comment on how it measures up to his other movies. But as far as quirky crime dramas go, this was a lot of fun to watch even when it's overstaying its welcome.
