Sounds like he was the one too hung up on other filmmakers.  "Joaquin
Phoenix often seems as if he’s deliberately not imitating The Dude,
even when a Dude-like reading of a particular line would be more
natural sounding."  This guy should have just enjoyed the movie.

"the difference between Inherent Vice and, say, the films of Quentin
Tarantino or Guy Maddin is that Anderson has no coherent satiric
purpose."  Luckily, Anderson didn't pander.  His film keeps the
crucial subversive aspect of Pynchon.  The film's ambiguity leaves
room for the ever important, paranoia.
