6/10
Some funny parts, but not great.
23 December 2008
I laughed out loud a few times during this movie. But from seeing the trailer, I was hoping for much more.

While it was amusing to see Brad Pitt acting stupid, he was overacting - and so it's just a "forced stupidity" that we see. However, the last expression he makes in the film is priceless.

Frances McDomrmand was great to watch, as always. George Clooney as a somewhat-geeky habitual internet dater was a fun turn. John Malkovich was annoying to listen to, as usual. Some rather innocent characters were harmed during the filming of the movie, (although it's not a surprise, coming from the Coen bros.) I give it a six.
