I did not get into this movie. I lie things that are a little crazy, but I had trouble getting into this one…

It was pretty stupid but I had a good laugh…

Strengths: The most appealing thing about this film is watching some of the most talented actors around as some very zany characters…

It was pretty stupid but I had a good laugh…

A movie that finely highlights just how overrated the Coens are. They have no ear for comedy whatsoever…

I think the audience rated this one correctly…

Storytelling at its finest, one of the Coen Brothers most underrated films comes from a bunch of silly yet hilariously written characters performed…

Gets better towards the end, but there are no likable characters, and just who's really funny - the man at the top, who makes only a couple…

Quirky humor which is usually the only movie humor I enjoy. The acting was well done, even Brad Pitt which usually I can only see as himself…
