Disappointed!

Rating: 4/10 (12 February 2009)

You would think the creators of the Legendary "Dude" (The Big Lebowski) could have made this movie a lot funnier. They had plenty to work with, top talent like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand-Coen, and John Malkovich. Yet this flick was quite unfunny. The only memorably funny item was the CIA boss (J.K. Simmons). Brad Pitt's character was mildly amusing, while the Linda Litzke character (McDormand) was just annoying and very unsympathetic. I wanted someone to blow her head off. And where was John Turturro? He was one important missing ingeredient. These actors are good, the Coen Bros. are great; so what the hell happened? No good jokes, that's what happened!
I don't care, "It doesn't matter to Jesus!" "That's just, like, my opinion, man."
