Description

An all-star cast, including George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand, Tilda Swinton and John Malkovich, come together in this outrageous spy comedy about murder, blackmail, sex addiction and physical fitness! When a disc filled with some of the CIA's most irrelevant secrets gets in the hands of two determined, but dim-witted, gym employees, the duo are intent on exploiting their find. But since blackmail is a trade better left for the experts, events soon spiral out of everyone's and anyone's control, resulting in a non-stop series of hilarious encounters! From Joel and Ethan Coen, the Academy Award®-winning directors of No Country For Old Men and The Big Lebowski, comes this brilliantly clever and endlessly entertaining movie that critics are calling, "smart, funny, and original" (Ben Lyons, E!).

    This is one of the funniest films I have seen in a long time. How anyone can possibly say they have found this film unfunny or boring beggers belief. Great acting, great story line and great dialogue. Would certainly recommend.

    This is awful. Absolutely awful. Such a Stella cast and this is what they give them to work with? I read a review here that said it had a "good ending". Wow. People really do have low expectations these days don't they. I can't for the life of me think of who would enjoy this film. It's like a cartoon, but a very very bad one with no jokes. It's just silly.
  • Great film

    The very worst film the Cohen Brothers have made by a long chalk. You truly won't care what happens to anyone in this film. Brad Pitt getting punched is a funny moment, but besides that, nada.
  • Epic

    Personally I thought this was hilarious! You definitely have to have a certain sense of humour to find it funny. The film is basically completely pointless but that's why it's so comical. If you're a serious person then don't waste your time, because you're probably boring.

    Def one of the top ten worst ever movies made. How did anyone get permission to make this and why would they want to?... Boring and stupid story line. Barely brought a smile. Def not funny at all. Brads dancing was the high light of the movie for all of 3 seconds. Dull very dull. Disappointed.
  • Complete and Utter Rubbish...
