Summary: BEst Comedy in Years
Review: This movie owned me from the start. From the Musical selections to the comedy, it all made remember things from the past. I read Homer's Odessy in High School but not till this movie came out have I really appreciated it. This should be a must see for all

Summary: Pappy would have loved it.
Review: This movie looks like my father's old photo album -- men in overalls and bad haircuts with lots of black Model T's, countrysides and dusty roads, all so reminiscent of the 1930s.It is an adventure story of three lads (starring George Clooney as Ulysses)who escape from a Mississippi chain gang and meet a lot of interesting folks along the way, including a bank robber named George Nelson (don't ever call him "babyface")who gives them a ride while firing his gun at the pursuing patrol cars, stolen money blowing around like leaves in fall. Somewhere in the film our three heroes save a nice black man from being lynched by a troupe of singing Klansmen, sing western music behind a big old microphone on the radio, and compete in a talent contest, all while Ulysses is trying to win back his wife. She is being courted by a new suitor, whose last name is a derivation of my own (only one letter different), which really made this film resonate with my own family history. This film has a very authentic look and feel of the 1930s, with a lot of humor thrown in. The thirties weren't all that fun, with dust storms, the great depression and widespread unemployment. Pappy would have laughed like mad and would have loved this film. So did I. It was sweeter than sorghum poured over hot cornbread!

Summary: Fun stuff
Review: George Clooney is great in this crazy caper of a movie, as is the entire cast. If you like high-spirited music, witty dialogues, and a little bit of surrealism I think that you will like this movie. The soundtrack is really good, it sets the mood well and if you like the sound of old folkish music it is just plain good. As for the extras that come with the DVD the only one to speak of is a music video of the main song performed by the characters in the movie, not to much to speak of in the way of extras.

Summary: "I can't remain unaffliiated!"
Review: O Brother Where Art Thou is by far one of the funniest movies I seen in years. The humor is subtle in parts. The humor is not your typical hollywood guy running down the street with butt showing..instead this is the thinking person humorous movie. I have met people who simply didn't get this movie because they fail to see the humor of the dialoge. Hollywood has programmed this generation that if the joke doesn't revolve around sex or nudity it can't be funny. One of the best parts of this movie is the ability to see the level of humor in polar opposite such as Everett and Delmar. The two are complete mental opposies. Everett is the "brains" and Delmar is the "lack there of". I think the balance of this movie is found in these two characters. However, the two characters are joined by a third person who fills in the gaps of Everett and Delmar. His name was Pete. Now Pete seems a cut above Delmar mentally but, he falls short of Everett. So what we find is a nice mix of Intellivence,Ignorance, and dumb innocense. The 3 amigos face challenge after challenge to reach "the treasure". Along the way, they find abilities they didn't know they had, make friends with bible salesman, and pick up hitch-hickers. All the while the trio find themselves in the middle of some of the best comedic situations on earth. In short, If you like a movie that is funnier the 2nd time you watch it. Get O Brother! Thanks, The Real McCoy

Summary: Best "Sleeper Movie"
Review: This is the best "sleeper" movie that I've ever seen! I loved every character in this wonderful comedy. Very few people that I've talked to have watched it, which is a shame, because they are missing out on a great time. In my opinion, this movie is a masterpiece of comedy. The music is not a style that I normally care for, and by the end of the first piece, I wanted to hear it again. If you haven't seen it yet, don't wait another minute!

Summary: Best movie of the year (and I even bought the soundtrack)
Review: I don't know if you get as tired as I do looking for a good, intelligent movie, but I get tired of Jim Carey making strange faces and depressing losers on a crime,sex,or drug spree. I had no idea what to expect when I saw this movie while waiting to meet someone at a mall, but I was entranced. I found it touching, funny, and thought-provoking all at the same time. The only drawback was that sometimes the dialogue was unintelligible - kind of the aural equivalent of all of those scenes where it's so dark that you can't see what is happening. Now I realize that making the movie-goer uncomfortable and sit forward in his seat may have a role in a suspense movie, but there is no role for this kind of manipulation in a movie that is supposed to be entertaining. Nevertheless, I bought this movie the first day it was out - I even pre-ordered it. I usually don't buy movies, nor do I watch them more then once. I've enjoyed it immensely and the music is incredible.

Summary: GREAT MOVIE!!
Review: The first time I saw this movie I arrived late at the theatre, and not knowing about that the movie was based on Homer's "Odyssey", or that it was set in the 1930's (or so), I wasn't influenced by any expectations of this movie. The first time around, I thought it was witty and funny, but a mediocre film. I finally got around to watching it a second time all the way through. Since then, I have become a Coen affecionado, discovering more and more the subtle yet hilarious comedy that the Coen brothers seem to flavor all their movies with. I HAD to go out and buy this film, and I've watched the movie about a dozen times now, finding it more funny every time. One of my most-watched DVD's in my collection. I recommend giving it a try - and if you've seen it once and didn't like it, I recommend giving it a second chance.

Summary: They've done it again!
Review: The Cohen brothers have done it again, I first was introduced to them with "Fargo" (I didn't know they had done "Raising Arizona"), this film is a funny enjoyable story. The music is wonderful, story is fun. The only downfall in my opinion was casting George Cloony, seemed out of character for the Cohen's to cast a mediocre Hollywood box office draw as a lead in their movie.
