Summary: Very good entertainment
Review: Don't expect the Odyssey, but expect a very clever movie. Lot's of fun and you'll enjoy seeing it over and over. The entire cast is incredible, and the songs linger in your mind for days afterward. I bought the CD as well as the DVD, just to be able to listen to it in my car.My wife enjoyed it as much as I did, which really surprised me. She was doubtful, at first, but barely into the film she was hooked. She enjoyed the bluegrass music too, and she has never cared for that type of sound before. Although it's not THE Odyssey, it is AN odyssey, a winding story-adventure. I was surprised that George Clooney could pull it off. Some of the lip-synching was off, with the voice not matching the character. All in all, we found it a very good movie, and still watch it from time to time.

Summary: AMAZING FILM!!!!
Review: What an amazing film!!! NOT being a Clooney fan (I can't get past that whole Facts of Life thing!) I found it difficult to bring myself to watch this one -- but I am SO glad I did! And there is the added bonus of an amazing soundtrack!

Summary: It's the music, Delmar!
Review: Saw the movie, rented the video, bought the soundtrack, read the liner notes, rented the video again. The Coens had the music lined up before the script was complete, and call the movie a "valentine to the music". It really is. The video does not give the same visual impact that the theater experience gives, but I think I could watch this movie weekly and still feel uplifted, entertained, and cheered every time. That's precisely what I want in my movies! Those who didn't laugh must have missed Charles Durning (as Pappy O'Daniel) as he joined the Soggy Bottom Boys onstage.

Summary: Excellent Family Time
Review: Didnt think I would like this, but it was a very good movie. We watched and enjoyed it as a family. Not many movies these days that you can watch with your kids and then to have everyone like it besides. It was funny and the music was excellent. I also purchased the cd.

Summary: Get the DVD !!!!
Review: You definitely must get the DVD. Here's why: In addition to the movie (which will never lose its luster in DVD format), it has several "side" presentations, most notably (and wonderfully) a piece about one of the movie's most important characters: its color. They take you step-by-step through the artistic colorization process that gave each scene its unique flavor. Even if I owned the video, I would still get the DVD just for that. Wow!

Summary: It was really nothing that good
Review: O Brother Where Art Thou is one of those movies where alot like it and alot of people hate it. I am one who really did not like the movie. The plot did not pick up and little action occured and the parts got confusing. The scenery was really nice looking though but it was too long and boring and being in a room with 12 other people while this was on nobody laughed once. It just one those movies where it's music is really bad and the movie is bad too and it gets so many rave reviews and you just do not understand why.

Summary: Who else could stylize and bring humor to the depression?
Review: Even though the movie had been released nearly 2 years ago, I still hadnt seen it. It came on tv about 2 weeks ago, and since I sat down and watched it that first time, I've bought the dvd and watched it about 10 times over. Usually PG-13 movies dont do much for me, but when a movie comes along with a great story, great characters, and great writing and directing, its destined for....well, greatness. This movie deserved at least one Oscar, and in my opinion, O Brother is a better, more enjoyable movie than The Coen Brothers' other success, Fargo. This movie has the same cooky style to it, focusing on a culture and region, and exaggerating that. Fargo made hilarious the already wacky accent of Minnesotans, this time around the Coens' made hilarious the already wacky lingo of the south, and bringing light to a dark time known as the depression. I've heard people were offended by the KKK scene, when all the Coen Brothers did was poke fun at the clan the whole time. If you get offended at that, I pray you dont turn on the tv or walk out youre front door, cause reality is much more offensive than a humorous PG-13 movie. George Clooney shows a whole different side of his ability as an actor, and I have new respect for him as a comedic actor, because I know not just anyone could pull off what he has as the dapper man he portrays. If you havent seen this movie yet, you REALLY should. Bravo to the Coens' for having the guts, brains and imagination, to make a movie based around the great Odyssey. Oh, and this is a review of the dvd..... Dolby Digital's good, but DTS is better, and this dvd has it, that's a plus. There's a neat little behind the scenes featurette, featuring the stars and the Brothers, and a cool little extra about the post production process, which talks about the things they were able to do to the movie since it was shot digitally, rather than on regular film. Love this DVD!!

Summary: Incredible!!! Phenomenal!!! Must see!!!
Review: Coming from someone who's generally not all that entertained by films, I absolutely LOVED this movie! It has been years since I have seen a movie that kept me laughing all the way through it, and had me completely absorbed into the characters (I actually forgot that I was watching the luscious George Clooney!). All the while it is very thought-provoking, and really brings you into that time period. I seriously don't see how anyone couldn't like this movie, and love it more each time you see it! And you must get the soundtrack, even my six-year-old daughter cannot get these songs out of her head! We ended up buying her a copy of her very own for her portable CD player and she can't seem to get enough of it! :) I'm not claiming to be a movie buff, actually I am quite the opposite. But let me say that seeing this movie has prompted me to get my hands on a few more Coen brothers films and what a discovery they are to me! I know, I'm quite far behind but better late than never! ;) Bottom Line: You must see O Brother!

Summary: It's coo
Review: I liked it really, when we rented it I was like " I'm not going to watch it, no way." Then I watched for 5 seconds and couldn't stop watching it. It's interesting, not action-packed, it's humorous (not cracking up funny.) My type of of movie. (-:
