smug, irritating, pretentious, inept, self-consciously quirky
Yeah, that could refer to Jason Schwartzman's whole "acting" career, or this steaming turd of a movie. This has got to be one of the most smug, irritating, cod-philosophical movies I've ever seen. The director is trying so hard to be quirky, cute, and "existential" that it made me want to puke.
O. Russell should get Wes Anderson to help him stuff Jason Schwartzman into the trunk of a car, then they should both get in the car, and drive it off of a cliff. That would make a great movie.
