Disappointing after experiencing…

One of my favorite comedies. Definitely the Coen Brothers at their funniest…

Un film dall'umorismo molto particolare e sempre sopra le righe…

Una roba completamente insensata, che però mi ha strappato qualche sorriso. Oltre non mi spingo perché non mi sembra una trovata poi così geniale…

I loved it. Wonderfull casting and crazy characters…

This Coen brothers' Burn After Reading is one of the insane black comedy films ever…

Everyone in the movie is a buffoon or a dolt. No one is redeemable…

I think the audience rated this one correctly…

Remember a time you told a joke that you thought was hilarious only to be met with a smattering of polite chuckles…

It was pretty stupid but I had a good laugh…
