For the most part this movie is superbly funny in it's sheer absurdity. Having seen the documentary this is based on, Crazy Rulers of the World, I knew what was fiction and what wasn't (and you'll be suprised by how much isn't fake). However the film's narrative nose-dives during the final act and the final 5 minutes completely fall apart. Still it has some fantastic humour in it that is grounded in reality, believe it or not.

It's relatively funny movie that's main plot was not as good as the flashback sub-plot. The cast is really good and in worse hands this film could really have been a stinker. To me it's a movie that I enjoyed but probably won't watch again unless I happen upon it on TV.

Offbeat comedy that chronicles the history of a secret detachment of psychic super-soldiers during the 80s. Jeff Bridges and Clooney are both pretty good, but Kevin Spacey's character was woefully underwritten, he doesn't seem to have any reason for being such a dick. Lots of laughs (including, yes, a man staring at a goat), even if the preachy ending falls with a heavy handed, eye rolling thud. Bonus points to Ewen McGregor for not letting his accent slip once that I noticed.

This movie's gonna be recognized as a hidden gem eventually, I could tell. The cast is absolutely brilliant. Clooney is phenomenal and Jeff Bridges is the man - The best part is he pretty much plays The Dude if the The Dude worked for the government. This is full of laughs and great lines (The Silence of the Goats). Maybe its only problem is the plot which kind of isn't there - it jumps around and switches up every 15 minutes but this is a comedy and I was definitely laughing.

Disappointing, but not unenjoyable. The whole movie, but in particular the charactors themselves feel very two-dimensional. This is a real shame when you consider what a weird, funny & intriguingly uneasy read Ronson's book is. This film drops, excludes or simply changes most of books finest elements, and to be honest most nearly every amendment feels a mistake. Even so, there are a few laughs here, & some good performances (Spacey, Clooney), but this is sadly underwhelming & lacking charisma.

Well, if the real armies were like this, we would be in a much more interesting world, but alas... (I don't know how much safer though). It is kinda like Hot Shots in the 2000s, but I really enjoyed it because it is based on the sad truth of the wars around us. If you can talk about psyche ops and criticize contract security companies at the same time, you are alright in my book. 4 finest horsemen of acting and a goat, what else could you want?

Totally preposterous premise which kept me saying could the Army really be that stupid: yes, no, no, yes, yes, no, yes--and of course we don't really know which because we were told at the beginning that some of it is true, so it sort of ended up being like this run on sentence, a lot of statements jammed up against each other to the point of loosing any point they might have originally intended, but in the end no one really cares because the "silence of the goats" was the only joke that hadn't

there are a lot of genuinely funny moments in this one, and the ensemble cast couldn't be better. Bridges is especially worth mentioning, with his dead on portrayal of the new age guru. The premise of the movie is solid, but the story takes a left turn (literally) somewhere and isn't concluded well, lacking the long waited denouement.

Disappointing because this fantastic pool of actors deserved a script with a sharper wit and focused message. We only get a vague sense of how this psi-op stuff is supposed to work and what is really true. It goes about its silliness in the worst way possible as it jumps from one (ultimately) meaningless aside to another. Like others are saying, there are some mildly amusing scenes (esp. from Bridges), but there's only so much I can take of "this actor was in Star Wars lol". Baaaaad.

This is a film that doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up ... A satire, a political documentary, a comedy, a humerous insight. Its a shame, because I enjoyed it, but was left wondering what it was for; what it was trying to say. With clearer direction it would have been fantastic. Great performances all round, expecially from the goat, and in truth, I could watch Bridges, Clooney and Spacey all day and not really worry whether I was truly understanding the point of the movie

Pretty entertaining acting all around but it seems too immersed in the comedy and new age esoteric aspect to do any real justice on the subject matter. The fact is the U.S. govt really did conduct drug (MKULTRA) and psychic experiments which caused an untold number of deaths. The film delves into this but more as light satire without the controversy. The last half of the film flounders around and falls flat with its attempts to be quirky. Would have been a good dark comedy in the right hands.

On its own, this is a peculiarly funny but ultimately frivolous exercise in intertextual casting references (Ewan's Star Wars and Bridges' Lebowski jokes are golden) and general absurdity. I would give it a higher score if the last shot were different - it contradicts the rest of it pretty badly.

The trouble with this film is that the non-fiction book on which it's based is so hilariously absurd in the first place that any attempt to make a dramatisation seems almost redundant from the off. When the truth is much stranger than fiction, why bother making stuff up? The fictionalised part (the road-trip through Iraq) is the weak link - just flimsy padding on which to rest the flashbacks. The film has a great cast, and is occasionally funny, but most of it just seems inconsequential.

For a movie with such an amazing cast, the final result sure felt a bit underwhelming. One of those movies where essentially nothing of consequence happens. Normally, that doesn't have to be a problem, but apart from some individually entertaining scenes there just isn't any meaty content to chew on.

The plot relies entirely on arbitrary events, coincidence and chance and has no flow whatsoever, and the characters are soulless empty shells who even when genuinely weeded up are about as funny as a wet sponge. The dialog is irrelevant, the themes are wishy-washy, and the only thing it manages to say about anything at all is along the lines of "so, listen, war is bad, mmkay". Given the potential it's a shame that this is what it is: a complete phone-in.

A whole bunch of stars aren't a garantie for a good movie. "The Men who stare at goats" is another proof for this. There are some really funny moments, but the whole story is too abstruse, so I was missing a real plot. But if there's one reason to watch this movie, it's Jeff Bridges as weird love&peace drill instructor. Apart from this nothing special at all.

The Men Who Stare at Goats is a funny movie about, among other things, men who stare at a goat. But it's mostly about some of the training that happens in the army -- it takes a funny and satirical look at that. It has good performances from a great cast, even though much of the supporting work goes to waste. The flashback scenes are more interesting and far funnier than the ones taking place in present day, and it's the latter which hold the film back from really working all the way.

Psychic spies and Jedi warriors populate this comedic film about the various attempts through history when America has attempted to integrate supernatural into their military. Overall the movie was pretty funny, with excellent performances by the leads Clooney, McGregor and Bridges, and a very smarmy villainous performance by Kevin Spacey. No commentary about the Iraq War here (not really); just a story about two guys on a psychic mission.

This movie is really friggin weird, but also pretty funny, in that darkly comic sort of way.

I don't really know what to say about this. It wasn't a bad movie but it didn't really make me feel anything towards it. I let out a couple of "heh's" from time to time but it didn't genuinely make me laugh. It was just a run of the mill story exactly about what you think it's going to be. I can't really even conjure up a memorable moment, all I can remember is thinking it wasn't that bad. A couple behind me walked out half way through so it's obviously not for everyone. Jeff Bridges was good?

It does feel like The Informant in some ways, like someone else said but I liked this a lot more. Maybe it's because I understood the jokes more, and I understood what they were talking about more often. I love the cast here and without them this would be worse. The problem is that it goes for pretty long stretches without a laugh (but has some great ones) and this movie isn't the most emotional thing ever so you're left with a few too many parts where you feel nothing. Still, a good flick.

It was ok, a few belly laughs but it didn't feel like a film.

Wow! Finally got to this one and really enjoyed it! Though quirky, love the ensemble cast and found myself laughing.

They were really trying to be funny, but it didn't work out. Just few amusing moments. Good acting though.

I found myself laughing out loud more times than I was expecting at the funny and well delivered script, Jeff Bridges and George Clooney deliver excellently.

the concept is so weird that it doesn't really know where to go, and consequently the third act is pretty unfulfilling. the movie doesn't successfully walk the line between satirizing and glorifying its subject, it just unevenly flip-flops, leaving the audience not really believing either side. but there are some pretty hilarious things in it, mostly due to some great comic acting by bridges.

I mean... it claims to be a comedy but I didn't laugh very much. But I still liked it. How does that work?

Outside of George Clooney hamming it up, the film is an awkward collection of scenes that have little room to unfold, and each scene feels disconnected from the whole. Something truly hilarious could have come from this, as it has its moments, especially with McGregor taking shots at 'Star Wars' and Clooney dead-on serious amidst total stupidity, but "Goats" never comes together, and instead feels much more dull than inspired.

Unexpectedly lovely satire about tree-hugging war-mongers. Mileage may vary, depending on how familiar you are with Ronsons work and new age/occult conspiracy stuff though.
