big deal of.. nothing

Rating: 7/10 (26 September 2008)

This bright comedy is suggested for anyone who got tired of all the classic usual stupid-funny movies and would love to enjoy themselves with smart, strange, confusing and some-kind extreme circumstances involving crime and paranoia. The last term might be misunderstood but all this will get clear soon enough. SPOILERS: The story is about some people who are all connected through deception, political discrimination, husband/wife cheating, blackmailing, exploitement while the following words: CIA, love via Internet and lawyers complete the entangled background. You get many messages through funny scenes and stupid behaviors. For start we are presented in a word of deception concerning the marriage where lawyers thrive consulting their clients to use a divorce in order to exploit their companion.Internet meetings and plastic surgeries take place too while a fuzzy filled in conspiracy climate(issue: obsession of being watched) leads each protagonist to follow a dangerous path with no return. It also raises the point about the common American fears stuck to the past (the Russian enemy). The observer to all this seems to be the CIA who discover that they can barely control the situation while they don't really understand what is going on! BIG SPOILER: In the last scene we see the director of the CIA wondering where they were wrong... my guess is that it all started because of the lawyer of Katie Cox who advised her to spy her husband!So what's the main message of the movie? DON'T FOLLOW YOUR LAWYER'S ADVICES ABOUT LEAVING/DECEIVING YOUR HUSBAND! Anyway,I think all this mess was a bit too much that's why the 7 for vote.
