Smart comedy at its best

Rating: 8/10 (2 August 2009)

This was the sharpest comedy I've seen in years.
It has great dialogs. It has Clooney and Pitt in very unusual roles. There is no apparent lead character which makes this movie even more interesting. It has a really impressive casts nonetheless. Also noteworthy is that the pace and twists of the movie just climax towards the ending. But most of all it's a great mockery of today's lifestyles. Without giving anything away, it turns out that the characters are all losers in their own pitiful ways. This movie is intended for people who appreciate subtlety and somewhat intellectual humor. There aren't any obvious, visual jokes in this one, but nevertheless I laughed out loud at least 10 times, mainly out of pity with the characters.
