Very good performance from Damon. His narration works well, too. The story wasn't disinteresting but it never really had me gripped, either.

The film relies mainly on Matt Damon's portrayal of Mark Whitacre and his compulsive lying, emphasized fantastically by the narration. It's quite enjoyable to learn how crazy Mark actually is.

There's no humanity to relate to, no wit to laugh at, only chuckling at one's own sense of superiority -- if you can afford it.

Mixing facts with thoughts, Soderbergh's storytelling manages to be sometimes bright, and sometimes a real pain in the ass. Matt Damon, in a quirky perfomance, makes it watchable.

This is one of the those movies that are hard to categorize. While the plot is quite serious and undramatic, Soderbergh takes an unexpected comedic approach to a somewhat boring story, and render it a bit intriguing. Still, he owes a lot to Damon's great acting, which can carry even the flattest scenes. (on second thought, Philip Seymour Hoffman would probably suit that role much better.)

The Informant! is a decent drama, but a failed comedy. It tells an interesting story, and has an intriguing lead character, but it just isn't funny. I'm sure there are people who would find it funny, but I didn't see the humor in it. Damon is good, but the other characters had little personality. The story gets kind of confusing at times, making it hard to follow. Watch it if you want to learn more about the lysine pricing fix scandal, but don't expect an incredibly entertaining or funny film.

Watched over half of it and then had to do something else

Hated it, but wasen't unbearable. But close to it

Gets better as it goes along, but the cutesy soundtrack and just the entire attitude of the direction annoys more than amuses. Matt Damon is fun to watch

Pretty funny and great performance by Matt Damon. However, it was pretty boring for the most part.

as an informant whitacre is the flakiest person in the movie, so how the heck could he rise to be a vice president? eh, whatever. this movie suffers from being really unfunny, and partially uninteresting. it just wasn't really very good. i dont know how, but soderbergh made a movie that felt hilarious, yet completely wasn't.

Unbearable. "Ma-at Da-amon" blogs his way through this narrative, with the most dull-dry-horrid chalk-on-a-chalkboard voice. Where the film would have been horribly if not lethally boring he succeeds in making it out right painful.

The corn fields on my road are more fun to watch.

Steven Soderbergh is the only person who could (and WOULD, for that matter) make this film. Damon is perfect, and the comedians sprinkled throughout (in serious roles, too) are fun to see.

The voiceover narration was fun, good performances (particularly Damon and Lynskey) helped make it a pretty good movie, but it felt longer than it was.

Much funnier than I expected it to be, but that ending isn't very good. In case anybody wasn't on board, this proves that Matt Damon can do anything.

not as funny as the trailer led me to believe, however, it's still a solid film. damon has a great role playing an unreliable narrator whom takes the viewer on a journey down the rabbit hole.

Similar topic as in Erin Brokovich, but Sodenbergh really embraced oddness this time. Stuff like soundtrack that sounds like it was lifted directly from some old slapstick movie, or heavy post-processed color palette is bound to leave lots of people alienated but if you take a closer look past the bizarre humor you will find an interesting story and a psychological study. Matt Damon is different and really fun to look at. Fun movie, but not for everyone.

Pretty funny, with good performances.

I want a separate movie on the internal monologues of this sad, strange man.

This story of an FBI informant who deceives everyone including himself, ending up with a longer prison sentence than anyone he exposed, is absorbing and ironic. Matt Damon's strikes just the right note, convincing us of Mark's extraordinary naivete, and making us marvel at--and somehow making credible--his wide-eyed duplicity. Hamlisch's musical score, though, is over-the-top, for it tries to force us to see the humor in every situation when we should be allowed to discover it for ourselves.

good acting by Damon but it's not worth it.
