tutakitty How can a movie blow with both George Clooney and Brad Pitt in it? By making a story line that has no purpose or true comedic relief. The only reason this review gives the movie 2 stars instead of 1 is because actors in it. How exactly is there humor in a story line that is not clearly defined and can't be followed? From the beginning to the end the movie is entirely too choppy.We open up with a CIA analyst who gets demoted for being an "alcoholic". He Analyst gets highly upset, storms out of the office and quits and decides to write a book about everything he learned in the CIA. Meanwhile there is no proof in the movie that the guy is an alcoholic. Anyways goes on with wife is cheating on him with George Clooney, who is like a nympho and goes on dating sites and has sex with random women everyday, (like does this character have a job?). Anyways you find out later his wife is cheating on his as well and everyone is in a weird sex ring at this point right? Anyways both dudes get served divorced papers one at the beginning (Analyst) and one at the end (Clooney). The movie "plot" is that two bozos who work at a gym (Brad Pitt and an Older Lady) team up when they find a CD from the Analysts wife's attorney's secretary (see you already see how bogus this is) with information on it the Analyst's wife was using as leverage to take all her money's before she filed for divorce. It not only contained part's of the Analyst's book but also financial information from her husband where she could go in and take money from his accounts. The two gym bimbos try to get money from the Analysts using the disc as hostage saying they are "Good Samaritans" and deserve a reward if he wants his disc back. Of course at this point the Analyst blows a gaskit and doesn't agree to terms and demands his information back. The older woman gym bimbo wants the disc for plastic surgery money and Brad Pitt... well we don't know what he wants the plastic surgery money for or why he is even hanging out with the annoying older lady to begin with. It all spirals out of control to where eventually Brad Pitt gets shot by George Clooney, the Gym Bimbos boss get's shot by the Analyst and then the Analyst gets shot by a random dude in the street. The CIA is monitoring the whole situation, doesn't care about anybody dying just cares about their information on the disc. So in the end they agree to give the crazy older lady gym bimbo her money for her plastic surgeries to keep quiet. HOW MORE ANNOYING, STUPID, AND UNWITTY COULD THIS MOVIE BE? Literally a waste of an all star cast. I want to erase this movie from my brain because that's how terrible it is.

ksach-366-580175 Did not expect this level of awesomeness. Can easily be rated as a 8.5+ movie.

Deniro1997 You can't miss if you choose this moviel, it's a black comedy suspense movie, which is highly entertaining throughout a whole plot. Coen brothers presents us the story of several unrelated characters, which are connected by mysterious CD. The actors did a great job, every one of them, especially i want to mention JK Simmons who plays a small role. If you like Fargo, this movie is a must see. But anyway, i can't see why anybody shouldn't watch this one, it's far away of some masterpiece, but if you looking film to enjoy, it's a perfect one! Coen brothers have amazing sense of humour and creating complicated situations for they characters. Movies is relatively short, about 90 minutes, so when you just want to relax with a good movie, and not looking for some though material, this is must see!

gaykathleen This movie finishes where it starts off with one woman needing some repairs. It is hilarious. From the makers of one of my favourites, "Fargo," the Coen Brothers deliver another subtle comedy of errors. Whenever I tried to retell Fargo to friends or relatives I could not get it out because I was laughing uncontrollably. This might not be up to the level of hilarity as parts of Fargo but it is pretty good. It has the best actors with the likes of George Clooney and Brad Pitt plus a few others of that calibre. The audience gets what the characters do not which is what the Coen Brothers do best. They use unintelligent, naive people to bite off more than they chew with very funny consequences. It is clever and will provide some good laughs.
