Which comes first? The director or the screenplay writer?
Turns out it's the screenwriter. The weird (primarily) and wonderful (eh) Charlie Kaufman. I mostly can't with him; it's just too wacky for me. The Jonze made the Kaufman slightly more palatable for this one.
Three quarters thumbs up - my face was a constant battle between 'aa that is so weird' and 'heh that was funny'. However despite how weird and unnerving it was, I. Was. Hooked.
