We loved it. The title sums up the script. Totally irreverent with some topnotch actors getting right into their parts. Brad Pitt is hilarious. George Clooney is hilarious and the Coen Brothers are on top form.

Genius film. One of the best Coen brothers films in my opinion. Stand out performances from all the cast. Particularly Brad Pitt, who steals the scenes he's in. John Malcovich is superb. So funny. Brilliant.
