Another purpose besides the story being told

Rating: 5/10 (30 September 2012)

Funny moments, but way too few for the star power lined up here.
I smell Clooney pushing this movie to show how disconnected the military is from reality and how many projects are off the books. He believes that the Pentagon is grossly over-funded and that weird stuff goes on that never gets scrutinized by official channels.
The credibility of the premise helps enforce Clooney's thesis, but this would have worked better as a documentary.
It's fun enough, but you can find crazy just about anywhere. You shouldn't have to pay this much in time or money just to see some esoteric stuff.
