haven't had so many film laughs in a long time

Rating: 9/10 (10 December 2004)

It's true- humor is SUCH an individual thing. I'm so surprised by the many negative IMDb user-comments about this film. I've just returned from seeing it, and I enjoyed myself from beginning to end.It was not the story but the dialogue that kept me mesmerized and chortling.So many fun and quirky conceits: Matt Damon as woossy(sp?) Mr.Tentative, Brad Pitt always eating/drinking;Clooney and Pitt's mutual ESP, all the word play and in-jokes.It's fun to see actors enjoying themselves; what a great time they must have had again. Hats off to the writer; I had such a fun time and know that when I see it again, there will be many new groks/laughs that I missed the first time around.
