Very quirky, very funny

Rating: 9/10 (12 March 2010)

Before I went to see THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS I kind of had the feeling that this was one of those movies that gave away all the good stuff in the trailer. I certainly didn't expect this movie to be spectacular (it wasn't) or hilarious (it was). I mean it, I haven't been laughing so hard in the cinema for a long time. It's just a delight seeing world stars like George Clooney, Jeff Bridges or Kevin Spacey act those superpower-dorks. Yes, there may be some scenes where the story behind it is exaggerated but at those points, the movie always has the right gag in store, catching you off guard. And the climax is just a celebration of silliness, whereas the ultimate ending is nothing but pure satire.
Great cast, great script, interesting premise, wonderful jokes and overall just a barrel of laughs.
