Hilarious...

Rating: 8/10 (10 March 2010)

'The Men Who Stare At Goats' directed by Grant Heslov is an excellent, hilarious film in all respects. Based on the book by the same title by author Jon Ronson, here comes a film that a Cine-Goer will truly love.
Now I have no idea of how much of these events are true, as shown in the film. I "Audience" just enjoyed. It has a funny plot of how psychic powers, might turn you into a Jedi. Some film are meant to be made, 'The Men Who Stare At Goats' is one those films. They're just there, weather you hate them or love. Well, as you must have understood till now that "I" am in love with this zany entertainer. Oh, if anything shown in this film was real... then hell ya, I should've been there!
The film promises laughter and delivers in abundance. The scenes between Bridges-Clooney are simply hilarious, and rank as the film's high-points. Even the climax, is very funny. Peter Straughan's adapted screenplay is witty and spot-on. Heslov's direction has it's touch. Robert Elswit's Camera-Work is also very good.
'The Men Who Stare At Goats' would've been half of the entertainer it is, if he hadn't had amazing performances. First of all it's a sheer pleasure to watch 4-Accomplished Actors come together in one film. Clooney is fantastic from start to end. McGregor is in top form, this is easily amongst his best works. Spacey is cool in a Grey role. Jeff Bridges is the best of them all, he's outstanding in each frame he appears in and it's a pleasure to watch the Academy Award Winner deliver such a performance. Stephen Lang is also terrific in a brief role. Others are satisfactory,
On the whole 'The Men Who Stare At Goats' rocks, it's exceptional work of Cinema. Over the years, I am sure this film will gain a strong Cult-Following. But as of now, A Two Big Thumbs Up from this Writer!
