  How close are humans to nature?
  
  This film is not one of Gondry's finest but it still has special moments and leaves you with subjects to consider.

  Human Nature: A charming way to spend 2 hours

  Human nature
  
  Strange movie, but not too painful to watch. Has some funny moments, but won't win any prizes for artistic talent.

  To avoid
  
  This movie is maybe funny for 5 minutes, but most of the things are predictable. Very boring.
