"I'm Still Here" Comedy or Tragedy?

I apologize if there is a discussion about this elsewhere already, but after watching the trailer and reading EW's review, I'm tempted to hear everyone's thoughts on this film. I was convinced it was an elaborate hoax, but now I'm not so sure. What do you guys think?

I thought there was an older thread about this, but I can't find it now.


As to the question: If there was still any doubt, he was on Letterman again last night:

I knew it was a put on from the very beginning. I had read that his brother-in-law was filming his every move, and that sort of gave it away. I've always been a big fan of his, so I probably know more about his nature than others. He would never act like that really.

He's a great actor. He was robbed for the Oscars for Walk the Line and Gladiator.
