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

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

The Coen brothers create a collection of truly terrible people and put them through a labyrinthine plot in one of their darkest comedies…

Burn after watching as well. This movie stinks and isn't worth remembering. (First and only viewing - In my mid-twenties)…

An extremely tight and to the point script with hilarious themes and dialogue performed unanimously beautiful by the cast, especially Brad…

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…

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

The worst movie I have ever seen, at the flicks…

An unfortunate low point for all involved…

A pretty good movie with pretty good acting and pretty good direction. Nothing spectacular though…
