as far as i can tell no where near as good as the real life tale it is based on

So I watched the men "who stare at goats" from 2009 starring George Clooney. So is it a good movie, well it could have been. I am going to add to the review after I have read the book, and seen the documentary it is in part based on by Jon Ronson. I read a lot of reviews before watching this movie, and got the sense that people in general liked it but that it eventually fell flat which is how I felt. I have seen some exerts from the documentary that came before the film and I have to say, that some of the weirdest stuff in the doc is also some of the weirdest and most unbelievable stuff in this movie. So should you skip it, well I will comment after the documentary and book have been completed but for now, I say if you don't mind watching a movie that starts out with a lot of potential but then dies suddenly towards the end go for it. if you like concise reviews of interesting films please read my other reviews at http://raouldukeatthemovies.blogspot.com/
