Me too. There are so many great lines and scenes in this film. One that immediately comes to mind:

McDormand: English....ENGLISH!

then

McDormand: Agent.....AGENT!!

Just got back from seeing it. Kinda slow at the beginning but really picked up when Brad Pitts character shows up. He was my favorite of all the characters. The machine Clooney built was completely unexpected in a disturbingly funny way along with the pitt surprising clooney scene. Overall i thought it was a smart funny movie that will definately see again.

Nice Kubrick reference: before the opening shot of the planet, there's a beeping noise; that's the exact same warning noise that goes off in 2001 when



To me, the funniest moments were when Clooney

Totally inconsequential fluff, but great and hilarious. One of the best uses of a "MacGuffin" in years.

I love that Clooney will totally humiliate himself in the Coens' movies.

Pitt was awesome.

I wish McDormand's character had a little more motivation behind her actions besides the surgery thing though.

I really enjoyed how serious the music in the film was, like we're watching a top-notch spy thriller.

This was a solid film with top notch performances all around. I would echo the thoughts of those previously who said that it started off slow, but certainly finishes strong...both in the pace of the movie and the humor as well. In the theater I was in, I heard very little laughter or reaction to things until halfway through.

That's funny, in the theater I was in, there was nonstop laughter starting with the "...compared to you, everyone has a drinking problem" line. And that was what, 3 minutes in?

To be fair, there may have been 20 folks in the theater I was in (matinee), but I was sitting near the front and definitely heard the laughter towards the latter parts of the movie.

Was it just me or was John Malkovich the best part of the movie? He was perfect mixture of hilarious and intense in every scene.

The way he kept saying memoirs killed me. From his interviews it seems to be the way that he would really say it, so props to the Coens and Malkovich himself for letting it become a great joke throughout the first part of the film.

I really enjoyed this flick. It was made like a straight spy flick/thriller where everybody just happened to be a complete idiot. The dramatic revealing of Clooney's device after all the taut and brooding music was greatness.

Really well made flick that seems to simultaneously lampoon everybody and nobody.

The Bus

I saw this movie over the weekend and thought it was the funniest Coen movie I have seen, although not their best (or even their best comedy). The dialogue was nice and snappy and some of the running gags were hilarious ("I've got enough time to get a run in.") I felt really bad for Richard Jenkin's character: the one person who was good at heart and not an idiot, and what does he get? Rejection and death.

It is definitely a "light" movie but absolutely watchable and entertaining.

CKMorpheus

Fantastic movie, big props to the Coen's for being on the ball with every project they work on, and for putting out such a great film not even a year after the success of No Country.

Also, props for having the guts to



half way through the movie!

Saw it last night. Fantastic film. Once it starts rolling it hooks you in and doesn't let go. My favorite scene was Clooney breaking down after finding out his wife hired a P.I. to tail him around.

"Relax pal, it happens to everybody"

I loved the movie as well. The characters were great and I like how the movie gradually built itself up for the ending.

B.A.

That was amusing as hell.

I may have been one of the only people to like it, particularly after its somewhat abrupt ending.

***1/2 out of five.

"This...is...a CRUCIFIXION!"

He's inspired me to yell "MORON!" at bad drivers a lot.

Osbourne Cox?

John Malkovich was hysterical. The way he would say the word fuck had me cracking up. (minor spoilers) Like that one scene where he found all of his stuff outside the house and just kept saying "What the fuuck?" was great. And when he was watching the workout video and kept saying "I'm back you fuckers, I'm back." haha

We thought you'd be worried...about the security...OF YOUR SHIT!

Caught a matinee this morning and thought it was mediocre. Didn't laugh much throughout the movie at all, but enjoyed the quirkiness of Brad Pitt's character and the facial reactions that Clooney had throughout the film. Frances was pretty good as well bouncing off the other characters. Besides that, fairly nonsensical and dry, and felt like it got off to a very slow start with Malcovich. I didn't really care for him outside of his banter with Pitt, nor did I care for Swinton.

Funny movie. Didn't think I would like this one at all.

I started getting into a laughing fit at

Then completely lost it when

Also, the CIA scenes (not sure if it was CIA or not) were fucking hilarious - perfectly played out.

Slow moving but an absolute must watch film.

i watched it with my mom last week. Very funny movie, i also loved that it was played 100% serious all the time.
Was it one of the Zuckers or maybe Romero that said that the best parody's/satires are the ones that are played serious, and i agree with that.
The biggest laugh from me was the reveal of Clooney's divice. Also was the name Osbourne Cox supposed to be a humorus name as in 'lol his last name is cox?
