Unsure why so many bad reactions. It's well acted, well paced and the story is insane and funny. Utterly enjoyable.
Underrated Coen Brothers remake of a classic film.
A quirky heist film aided by a great cast & the Coen’s signature dark humor. Not one of their best but a solid time all the same.
A fun crime/heist movie, but a little unspectacular considering it's by the Coen brothers. You'll find their trademark humour, though.
Ok comedy movie, probably Coen bros weakest movie a rare letdown
Guess critics thought the Coens were above heist movies. I think they made a fun film with their own touch. Worked fine for me.
I don't get the hate this movie gets. It has all the elements of an excellent Coen brothers' dark comedy.
Absurd comedy that ramps up the chaos just in time for its over-the-top final half hour. Not for everyone, apparently, but I had a blast.
Crazy comedy of errors. The story is so inventive, characters are charismatic, humor is spot on. So well executed!
I don't hate it, but it's low tier Coens.
