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

It was pretty stupid but I had a good laugh…

This movie is SO funny!! Great casting but John M. really makes me smile…

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

This movie gets funnier every time I watch it…

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

I loved it. Wonderfull casting and crazy characters…

After the portentous No Country for Old Men, Joel and Ethan Coen return to their trademark brand of cruel, misanthropic farce, and for dark…

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

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