[[File:IHeartHuckabees.jpg|frame| How am I not myself?]]

 

The life of Albert Markovski (Jason Schwartzman) has been increasingly stressful. His job, at an environmental non-profit, has been increasingly difficult due to encroachment from both suburban sprawl and corporate drone Brad Stand (Jude Law) trying to take over his coalition. Also, he keeps running into an African doorman, and it seems all too coincidental. Albert decides to look for help on the matter.

* [[The Cameo]]: Shania Twain.

* [[Cluster F-Bomb]]: The ''opening lines''.

* [[Fake American]]: It's not exactly clear what kind of accent Jude Law is doing in this movie, but it sure isn't American.

* [[Fan Disservice]]: {{spoiler|Albert and Caterine's sex scene.}}

* [[Internal Reformist]]: Brad attempts to work the system, saving the marshlands by giving the woods over to the developers.

* [[Lucky Charms Title]]

* [[Nice Hat]]: Subverted and played straight; Dawn starts wearing a bonnet that almost nobody likes. When Tommy likes it, she leaves Brad for him.

* [[Opposed Mentors]]: philosophically opposed existential detectives (who both served as [[Trickster Mentor|Trickster Mentors]] for their clients) who may or may not have actually been working together, but would never admit it.

* {{spoiler|[[Unreliable Narrator]]: Albert is hiding quite a bit.}}
