Title: THIS was a must-see?
Review: So if you like the Coen brothers, you've been told you MUST see this movie. People talk about it in almost reverent tones, but I found it more like The Three Stooges: You either love 'em or hate 'em, and I'm neither a fan of the Stooges or of this movie. Don't misconstrue me to saying this is like a Stooges movie; rather that both are a "you do or you don't taste."An obviously great cast, with a few wry laughs, but seemingly weird for weirdness' sake. Plus, it has all the swearing of a Tarantino film without the truly great dialogue (that some of his movies have). If I'm going to be beaten over the head with the language of the docks/high-school, at least give me some substance to go with it.All in all, I felt more in the camp of, "I wish I had those two hours of my life back" than I did, "Glad I finally saw that."
Is the review positive or negative?
