The Short: From the brilliant minds and eyes of the Coen brothers comes a modern retelling of Homer's age-old classic, The Oddyssey. When three convicts escpae from a 20th century prison camp, they must band together to face a "cyclops", evil extended family, a flood, and even the Law itself. Not to mention recording a hit single and winning back divorced wives.
The Good: Yes sir'e. This here were a film that I could listen to George Clooney's voice for the couple hours without cringing. And that should earn him an Oscar.
Also the historical tie-in with George Nelson was great, and I loved the "Cyclops."
The Bad: I wasn't all that excited by the ending.
The Ugly: Sure, Clooney's acting wasn't cringe-inducing in this film... but his hair addiction was.
The Overalls: Definately a whole ton of fun. It's funny, it's intense, it's sort of moving. And we get to see George Nelson almost cry. Now that makes a good film!
*** 3/4 (3.7 / 5)
