This is a very good black comedy from great Cohen brothers. Again as in some of their previous film there is a bunch of total losers caught in situations which are too complicated for their intelligence to grasp. This brings them to a number of strange situations. This comedy lives and dies with the characters. Which are great indeed and all actors who play them are very solid. There is sex obsessed paranoid government agent (Clooney), totally stupid but quite kind sport lover (Pitt), women who just wants the plastic surgery (McDormand), revenge seeking adulterous wife (Swinton) and self obsessed close minded ex CIA agent (Malkovich). All begins when Malkovich is fired form CIA and takes some documents with him to help him write his memoirs. His wife steals them to help her in divorce, but attorney's secretary looses them, and around those documents everything unfolds. All in all this is a very entertaining comedy if you like a black humor go for it.
