i hate george clooney

[marlboroman1985]

Like The Big Lebowski, I suppose I'll have to file this under the category "movies other people find hilarious that to me seem as amusing a Sham-Wow infomercial."

[Awkwardgesundheit]

The big lebowski is a stupid, random movie..

[imaedacomment]

@Awkwardgesundheit .... You for to add "amazing"

[Veliuszero1]

idk i respect mr kermode but honestly disagree with the bulk of his opinions regarding films. there comes a time when you hate your job and need to find other work, i think mark is there.

[ofcoursehesthefarmer]

@Veliuszero1 Sweetie, if you are going to say deliberately provacative things in order to get a rise out of people, you should try and be a bit more subtle about it. Trolling is an art after all.

[zachhobbs]

this was a boring movie. Could have been so cool, but failed.

[PompamooseMagique]

@EllSiefilms That "little shit" is Jon Ronson. Book your fucking ideas up, the man is one of the most fascinating journalists of recent years.

[pedriano999]

the film was awful, there was a few vague funny parts but generally it was just dull and didnt go anywhere. dullllllllllllllllllllllllllll­ll

[skinwalkerxxx]

I would punch that little freak so hard, it's not even funny. He's trying too much to do a Woody Allen impression

[hYpYz]

i got stoned watched it and laughed my head off.

i highly recommend watching that movie:D

[zionravescene]

@hYpYz

I didn't get stoned and yet I too laughed my head off.

Arguably the silliest movie of the last 5 years, as inconsistent as it is entertaining. Whether you end up liking it or not, it is nevertheless a film you have to see (although probably just the once).

[pooh1234567890]

@ tascott59

I agree

[pooh1234567890]

Pretty dissapointing film, thought was boring, and pretty stupid plot.tbh.

[j3parrots]

I was disappointed, got very boring but nothing else was on ... the book supposed to be alot better, and yeah I think he is being polite to the author

[Sshelly34213]

He really likes his head...

[Dylangerr]

shit film

[detriplea]

I agree, just saw this film today and I slept halfway, maybe Kermode is being polite to his guest.

[tenseman08]

definitely had its funny moments (a lot of them)...and when they were funny they were extremely funny ...but it just wasn't consistent in following up and you kinda lost interest in between

[dunnededunnedunne]

why does Jon look so small here. is he always so small?

[TheDensley7]

@dunnededunnedunne No, his size changes depending on where he is.

[moeezS]

All the best bits are in trailer? Forget it then, not going to waste money on this film. Even though Clooney is awesome in all these atypical films he's doing.

[TulseLuper]

Finally, a review available outside of the UK! About bloody time.

Actually I didn't care much for The Men Who Stare at Goats. Thought it could've been a lot better; best bits were in the trailer. The book may be great but it just didn't work as a movie for me.

Oh and Kermode is wrong about The Big Lebowski. Completely 100% wrong.

[TheSilhouette]

Agreed. Bridges is hilarious in that film.

[CrazyAboutMovies23]

amazing. it was the film that brought my attention to him, very funny actor

[murasakiryu]

Tell me about it! what the hell is with them blocking views outside the UK! The Big Lebowski was class!

[glitchesandglitter]

@TulseLuper kermode is not good with reviewing american comedies

[GaiashKetoji]

The men who stare at films

[danxtur]

First time I see a happy review.

I might see it then if you say so
