Everything is Illuminated (2005)

Why did I rent it?: I had to find out the dealio with Elijah Wood's crazy glasses.
What's the plot?: This Jewish guy named Frodo Jonfen meets up with some premium Ukranians who take him on a journey to find out his grandfather's story. Somehow the movie ends up being about a cricket and an old Ukranian (not Jonfen's grandfather). I think maybe the plot was about the journey. Also, the main character has a ziplock bag fetish and that is kind of weird.
Who should watch it?: Ukranians...if they are into artsy films with little-to-no plotline.
Best scene: Alex: "Many girls want to be carnal with me... because I'm such a premium dancer!"
