Burn your money elsewhere

Rating: 4/10 (20 September 2008)

Go figure! Malkovich, Swindon, Clooney, McDormand, Pitt. All great players in many great movies. Coen brothers, writer/directors of great movies. 8.1 on IMDb before I saw this. Fooled again. Saw today with and audience of about 30. Average age appeared about 40. Only a few laughs in this misadventure and that among the whole audience. Worst waste of major talent I've ever seen! Entertaining in a quaint way. Only thing I can figure is generation-Y is rating this so high. Here's the spoiler: Its BORING! How could so many people rate this so high? Is the world population now so desperate for entertainment? Though the Coen brothers have made some great movies, this is NOT one of them. They are no longer a trusted source for me.
