this is another one of the Coens' warmly lit, quirky screwball comedies that they do so well.
i seriously don't have much to say about the film because, as usual, i dozed off in the middle of it, and also because the story is not the focus here, it seems. it features a style only them are able (or care) to pull off these days. it's this lighthearted cynical dissertation on love, done like one of those old Capra movies, it seems, but with a cynical, twisted heart this time. right along for the ride is another fine, fine actor, one George Clooney, who is very well-suited for this kind of self-aware style of acting.
even though it's not as inspired as my favorite Coen films (Barton Fink, Fargo, The Big Lebowski), this film does have its share of great moments. trust me. if you're a fan, you'll definitely dig.
see, i told you i didn't have much to say about it.
but it's the Coens. how can you pass them up when there are so many people making movies these days that don't even seem to give a damn about films anymore?
ps. if you look closely, there's a really cool cameo in it for you :)
