Men Who Stare At Goats!!

Loved every minute but almost passed on it because of the negative reviews. Very funny, laugh out loud comedy...  insanity never made so much (almost) perfect sense! 

Five thumbs up... :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: :thumb:

Enjoyed the flick, only a couple of LOL moments for us tho. I went with my 23 year old daughter. Our one word to describe the movie was "cute".

Saw it again for the second time.  This is the kind stuff you'd expect from the Coen Brothers.  Very enjoyable.  Best film I've seen in a while.

Went into this movie having only seen the trailer (not any reviews), and should've listened to my gut feeling that I wouldn't enjoy it, because I didn't. Wasn't a bad movie per se, but aside from a few chuckles it didn't connect with me at all. Glad some people are enjoying it, though.

Different strokes for different folks...  I like off beat eccentric characters in convoluted plots in movies like "Men Who Stare At Goats" and "Being John Malkovich" as opposed to toilet humor like "Borat" and "Bruno".

Didn't work for me at all. I usually like this sort of movie, but this one just didn't connect.

Although I enjoyed it well enough, not a movie I'd care to see twice.

I watched this movie late last night on Blu-Ray.  I was attracted to the film mostly because of the cast and the trailer.  I mean, a picture starring George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, and Kevin Spacey can't go wrong.  Right?  Think again.  IMO the film's best moments were in the trailer.  It definitely had its moments, funny and otherwise, but in the end the movie was just downright silly -- not entertaining.  I'd much rather see Ulysses Everett McGill getting out of a tight spot.

Wifey and I watched it last night. It was LAME. The plot, such as it was, went nowhere. You would think with the budget, the cast and the topic they had to work with that they could have risen above the level of an SNL skit. They didn't!!!

I really wanted to like this movie, but it didn't grab me at all.
