This film will be forever in my top ten!

Rating: 9/10 (11 January 2010)

I am sorry that some didn't enjoy this film. I loved every minute of it and embarrassed myself in the cinema by laughing uncontrollably through many, many scenes. I loved the concept, the story and of course the superb acting by Clooney and Bridges. The ending is FANTASTIC. I hope that Goats + Inglorious Basterds win every award this year as we really haven't been spoiled recently. I recently met a couple who didn't like The Big Lebowski (nor The Royal Tenenbaums for the matter), yet they seemed so normal to me. I daren't suggest this film to them. They should stick to Dumb and Dumber methinks... Anyhoo, I agree with The Irish Times: "Clooney shines in this remarkable story, based on actual events...Clooney is now pretty much the sole bearer of the 'classic movie star' tag, and once again, he injects a performance with a Coen brothers level of quirky. His twitches, his more ponderous moments; you buy this character because it's Clooney, and he's exceptional here."
