You have to like Coen movies and Clooney, then its good
I’m a law student and this is my favorite lawyer movie. It’s more fun & accesible than some Coen Bros films. Use it to get your pals hooked.
Even better than I remembered. Coen brothers have a gift. This movie is so funny, so creative & interesting.
Fun Rom Com movie with a coen brothers twist on it. I enjoyed it, definitely not their best but still good.
One of Coen brothers lesser movies. It has its moments and I enjoyed it overall.
Not as bad as people assume, but, y’know. Could be better.
Fun silly comedy, good cast, throwback to screwball battle-of-the-sexes movies
A fun movie, pretty infuriating characters but it’s enjoyable to watch them circle each other, trying to come out on top.
I remember a few laughs. I remember also that I was 12 and dumb as a rock.
Expectations were probably too high thanks to Coen involvement, and dark farces don't often fly but this is still funnier than it should be.
