Awful! Complete waste of time

Rating: 1/10 (5 December 2008)

OK, Brad Pitt did kind of a funny acting as a gay gym teacher. George Clooney also had a couple of good times in his rule. In the overall, the film is boring, not funny. The script is very weak. Stories cross in an artificial way and you can't tell it's a comedy until the film ends and you start to think: "Well, a drama it's not and I'm pretty sure not an action or triller film either. So, it must have been a comedy! But why the heck didn't I laugh, then?". It's very disappointing when you go to see a movie from Cohen Brothers, with such a cast (Brad Pitt, George Clooney, John Malkovich) and it still is a bad movie. You gotta work hard to do this. Has been done later, though (remember Ocean's 12?). My advice is to not go watch the movie for its cast. It's hard to believe the actors accepted to work on it.
