Not all that memorable, but fun.

This was a weird movie, and it stopped so suddenly. Worth a watch. Not worth $5.99 nzd.

What the hell happened in this film. Some funny parts and succeeded in the end.

By the time that the plot starts the movies over. But it's funny, and has good actors.

This is the one movie, in which Brad Pitt convinced me, that he really is a great actor.

This spirited almost-satire shines with Coen-y brilliance and delightful acting.
