Hats off again to the quirky Coens

Rating: 9/10 (30 October 2008)

Ahhhh the Coen brothers. Francis McDormand, the amazing acting babe. Clooney and Pitt playing goofballs. Same-O same-O? Not at all.
Good stuff.
An original screenplay, seasoned nicely with a bit of Catch 22 and Strangelove and Fargo This is/was not the biggest commercial success. Not an Adam Sandler sort of flick. But the kind of thing you think about days later and snicker at. Then you watch it again and maybe get it. 10 years later you watch it again and remember how much you loved it.
Thank the cosmos for the Coen brothers. Their absurdity is never tempered by reality. Everybody is selfish and the winners are not deserving. Predetermined fate fashioned by an inbred and incredibly lesser God
