Title: It's just not that funny
Product review: This just isn't in the same league as "O Brother" or "The Man Who Wasn't There." Most of the acting was pretty good, particularly the performances by Irma Hall and Tom Hanks. However, there's not much anyone could have done with the "Lump" or "Garth Pancake" characters. The story just wasn't "heist" enough for a heist film, and sure as heck wasn't funny enough for a comedy. Uh, who decided that Irritable Bowel Syndrome was funny? Oh no, I might have spoiled the movie by mentioning "IBS" . . . but if that's a spoiler, then that alone tells you what type of movie you're in for.One last comment: bear in mind that I was one of the few people who actually LIKED Intolerable Cruelty, and still I wasn't impressed with this movie.My advice : wait for the DVD release or at least catch the matinee showing.
