    This is one of the movies that audiences and critics disagree majorly upon. For me, it was just a waste of talent. If there was something I was "supposed" to get, I didn't. When you have McGregor, Clooney, Spacey and Bridges in one movie, you expect it to blow you away. Instead I...( read more) was left unemotional, uninterested, and with many question marks. Sure, the acting is superb, sure there is great black humor in it, but the story couldn't be one I cared less for, and even so, the movie SHOULD make you care for it. It seemed random and marked by carelessness, and it was a movie that I'd expect to see 20 years ago - not today. I didn't enjoy it much, and hopefully if the four of the leading stars ever get to be in a movie together again, it will be a masterpiece.

    So funny. George Clooney and Jeff Bridges both give hilarious, fantastic performances. Be sure to pay attention or you'll miss the witty dialogue.

    a film as silly as its title, clooney was fantastic and the script was witty and clever through most of the film, but in the end it still fell a bit flat. not that i expected it too, but the story didnt actually amount to much. good for a solid laugh but not quite as clever as ...( read more)the coen comedies that this seemed like it was trying to be.

George Clooney and Ewan McGregor are teriffic. Jeff Bridges is hilarious in so many ways. Kevin Spacey is brilliant. The cast has great chemistry together. A wonderful soundtrack and great set pieces. An outragious, enjoyable and outstanding film. A classic new comedy.

    There is a secret new age army who uses paranormal abilities to defeat the enemy instead of weapons. Bob (Ewan) is a reporter who follows Lyn (George) to write a story about the new army. Kevin Spacey plays the bad guy and Jeff Bridges a hippie / army leader. It is very funny esp...( read more)ecially the dancing scene. It has dark humour like Burn After Reading without the witty lines. If you liked Burn After Reading, this is a close second cousin in humour. Good cast. Bonkers storyline but entertaining.

    Bright ideas for a loosy script and a too normal directions (for not say dull). The cast is awesome, but the talent is not use at his full potential, and Clooney really steals the show.

    Very funny movie. Fun idea, good jokes throughout. Which is surprising since it's... a recent (non-animated) comedy... thats funny... strange.
