A much different role for George Clooney, aand the Coens prove once again that they never really make the same type of movie twice.
In truth, I am not a fan of the music. I find it too heavy handed but what I really like about it is how it translates a lot of old mythology into a Southern setting.
One of the few films that I can watch over and over again and not get tired of it. I am definitely a Dapper Dan Man.
I can watch this film at any time, in any mood. Love it from start to finish
Un film incroyable, drôle, divertissant et pourtant un vrai travail artistique de la part des frères Cohen. Un de leur meilleurs films
This movie is amazing! It is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen and it is full of great quotes!!! "Sweet Jesus Everett! They left his heart!"

"I detect, like me, you're endowed with the gift of gab." LOL!!!! I love it. If you haven't seen it, you are truely missing out. George Clooney and the other guys do a wonderful job!
So much fun to watch it in Christmas Time! Very funny when George Clooney change to a comedian, though I think three of them are the Hollywood Version of Ronald Cheng, Cheung Tat ming and Sam Lee XD

There is some great writing supplemented with a great cast who supply great acting. The story is quick and not slow, in fact it left me questioning it a little, but it is good none the less. Clooney might be the best actor of his time, right there with Pitt and Washington. The soundtrack is great. The movie might be a little silly but I licked it, not the best Coen brothers movie but they have given some of the best movies we have.
Critic Reviews
Devilishly delightful.
I had the sense of invention set adrift; of a series of bright ideas wondering why they had all been invited to the same film.full review
