O Brother, Where Art Thou?

I thought this movie was great! I saw this when it came out in the theaters so I do not remember all the details. I remember it being based on Homer's tale on Odysseus. Names places and events are changed but you can still see the resemblance to the tale. I found it funny how they would get themselves into trouble and how they would get themselves out of it. I really enjoyed this version of modernized old tales much better than the Romeo and Juliet with Clair Danes. I will agree that in some parts of the tale it does get a little to silly at times but all in all it is a great adventure with some big name actors.

Headline says it all really. I was a bit sceptical about going to see the film. Firstly the location was an 'Arty' cinema house and that sort of gave me the impression of an 'arty-farty' concept film, not made for the pleasure of the mass public, and a film to establish Clooney as more than a hearthrob. However, I read the review of the film, and according to the review the film would need to be watched more than once to be able to appreciate all the humour, as it came thick and fast. I think that comment was meant for the Dutch, originating from the UK I had no trouble with following the film. To my delight I was delighted with the film. Clooney played his part excellently as did the rest of the cast. The humour was great, at times very stereotypical, at times very subtle. Even though I had heard of the film it was not a huge box office success to my knowledge, which I think it deserved to be. Watch it and be surprised.

This film is full of great music and interesting situations, but the story leads nowhere. I was waiting for a big finnale, but the movie just ended, before going somewhere.

I sometimes like these directors's movies and sometimes I don't . George Clooney is on fire here , aptly supported by the cast and the scores are fantastic . fully hilarious .

The Coen Bros. are usually the most obscurely directors working today. I say usually, because with O Brother, Where Art Thou? they went from perfecting the obscure, to dwelling in idiocy. The film might be gorgeous to look at, but underneath the lush cinematography is a pin headed script, with dreadful performances. Many admire the film because they love the blue grass barnyard yokel music, but I have never been one to reside in the the South, so I didn't buy it.

I remember seeing the preview to this and thought this looks like the stupidest movie I've ever seen. My roommate rented it one night and I saw it on DIRECTV ready to be re-watched, when he replied. I told him dude are you crazy this is the dumbest movie I've ever seen. He said dude you have to watch this, this is the funniest movie you have ever seen. Looking back I cannot deny that comment. Not only is it one of the funniest movies I've ever seen but it gets better every time I watch it. My favorite parts are the part with him commenting on his hair all the time. ""How's my hair" " My hair!" " I don't want FOP god damnit! I'm a dapper dan man" this movie is a hidden gem!

i'm sorry Homer!Forgive and forget! In this horrible season the tragedy goes on. I'll not waste many words for this useless and boring movie. I have not to save someone refraining him from watching that because I was alone in all the theater and this fact means that all other possible audience already knew. Bye
