Comedy almost at its best

Rating: 7/10 (22 March 2009)

Outdoes your average movie and definitely Coen brothers best comedy since The Big Lebowski. Generally a great comedy that breaks a few clichés and will surprise outside the box. I loved most o the actors with Frances McDormand and George Clooney being exceptionally exceptional.
Brad Pitt has a been there, done that feel to him, but well... he is likable. John Malkovich is the man you love to hate and I love that about the guy.
Could probably with all honesty give the film a higher mark, but in the end I wasn't all that inspired with the movie, as the Coens have made better comedies and films in general. Also I think they overdid it a bit with all the swearing and the movie could have toned that down a notch. The end sequences with the 'cl&sterf^ck' would have been much more intense and memorable.
Definitely a suggested watch for anyone that's fed up with comedies that seem to be cardboard copies of each other and that are fully expendable. If you don't want comedies to treat you like a complete idiot than this is a movie for you.
