Alright
It was a confusing storyline but it had its moments of laughter, The ending was terrible but youll laugh just because its so stupid
horrible
worst movie of life, do not waste your time, or money.
a dark comedy...
I was starting to wonder if this was gonna be funny AT ALL!
it started off slow...& there were a few times i laughed out loud...but all in all it was WAY OVER RATED..i really dont see why this movie was so hyped up? wait for the dvd to rent. 6/10
HORRIBLE!!
Story line didn't exist; the characters had no real 'depth'; I was bored 1/2 way through it but thought it was suppose to be a funny movie.
Pitt was funny doing this "dance" and some scenes were just odd.
Where was the humour, storyline or "worth seeing" movie.
Worst Pitt/Clooney yet!
don't recommend it!
Good for those who like weird umour
If you don't mind bizarre humour you might like this. It wasn't as bad as I heard it was. The characters are certainly all freakishly odd but they kept me entertained. Although there wasn't really a solid storyline more than just a jumble of random, messed up occurances, it made me laugh and that's what I was hoping for.
Might want to wait for rental though if you don't want to risk it.
Waste of Time
Pitt was funny as well as Clooney. Did not make up for the terrible story line.
Burn before Producing
A total letdown, cross between mission impossible and fargo it just doesn't work, great actors , failing script, not worth the matinee price, can't beleive Cloonie and Pitt agreed to this one,
This movie was terrible.
This movie was terrible. The language was the worst I've ever seen. Doesn't anyone have any morals? There wasn't much of a story line either. We ended up leaving and getting our money back.
