O Brother, Where Art Thou?

One of the Coens' best, a glorious mix of depression-era folk songs, Homer's Odyssey, and Preston Sturges-style comedy. It's jam-packed with plot development, with one "tight spot" after another. Clooney shows a remarkable ability to handle comedy, the music is enthralling, and Deakins' tempered cinematography is beautiful.

Another excellent Coens movie. It's very clever, it has a great cast, it looks awesome, and it has oodles of great music. Oodles, I say.

I don't know if it's already an adjective, but this is as Coen as can be. ... Funky dialogues, the extravaganza of weird characters, and subtile attention to detail. ... Clooney, Nelson, and Turturro also carried this movie to a higher level. Turturro especially is made for these kind of roles. ... Also the references to Robert Johnson and Babyface Nelson were actually pretty amusing. ... "damn, we're in a tight spot"

The ability of the Coens to operate so effortlessly in so many different styles never ceases to blow me away. This is some of the most fun I've ever had watching a movie, with a fantastic blend of comedy and American music and a clever reworking of the Odyssey to fall back on. I could listen to the soundtrack for days.

Funny and superbly entertaining with a stellar soundtrack. Essential viewing, especially for a Coen Bros. fan.
