Yes, but dark comedy implies that there will be comedy at some point. Saying something is dark comedy is not a free pass for something to not be funny. People who like the movie say that your stupid for not liking it and that you just dont get it; when in reality they're just saying it to seem smart. A smart person would know that a dark comedy is just a comedy about bad situations and is supposed to make you laugh; which this movie fails at.
Coens characterisations are lined with hilarious mannerisms and jokey names. This is really funny, unfortunately you are just trained to laugh when the laugh track kicks in. Anyone who is anybody in cinema rates the shit out of these guys and you sir are on the outer and sound quite jealous about it ;-)
If those hilarious mannerisms and jokey names were indeed funny I would laugh at them. Your last sentence really contradicted your point and I thank you for it. If I'm the outer then so be it, all that means is I'm not paying attention to the trendy inner and laughing when I'm expected too. I have no aspirations to be in the cinematic community because If you haven't noticed half the movie nowadays are remakes, the rest usually suck. Have fun being a tool and perhaps even worse... Australian
One of the WORST movie I have ever seen. Hardly anyone makes a comedy worth watching anymore it seems.
Movies like this show how simple minded 99% of society is anymore. It's a shame to see good actors like Brad Pitt, Clooney and Malkovich lower themselves to such a turd of a script as this one just to pad the pocket a little more. It takes a lot to get me to comment on Youtube, but this movie sucked so bad I just had too! a group of 10 yr olds could write a better scriptn than this movie.
rocky6360 i totaly agree wit u burn after readin was not funy th entire film was silent it barely had music nd it had irrelevant scenes nd ovrall th film was just plain terrible DONT TRUST TH COEN BORTHRS THEY HAVE GOT TO B TH WORST DIRECTORS EVR IN TH HISTORY OF MANKIND!
To discuss how horrible this movie is. People who hate the movie come here to vent the anger they felt when wasting thier money on this. Ha I just looked at your page. Your almost 30 and you favorited a high school musical video; then you come on here to insult people. You complete cunt.
im not 30, im 18 and my younger brother also uses this account - im not a fan of high school musical not that its any of your business what films i like and i dont think its your place to comment on what i like . Also, your language is disgusting to be frank. How dare you talk to me like that. All im thinking is that you must be a very lonely, sad person to be searching films youve seen and really didnt like on youtube and then saying how much you dislike it therefore, you are a sap

kingwahab911 wat kind of fukn mron r u can u not tel th dirference between good comedy films nd bad comedy films i watched this film wit my sistr nd i asked my sis is this supose to be a funy film lol THIS FILM IS BARELY COMEDY IT WAS NOT FUNY AT ALL I DIDNT LAF AT ALL IN THIS FILM IF U COMPARE THIS FILM TO SUPERBAD THEN SUPERBAD IS LIKE THE GODFATHER (th film)
You guys must be talking about "I Got A Line On You," by Spirit. Released in 1971. Spirit's lead singer was Jay Ferguson, who had a mid 1970s hit with "Thunder Island."
this is the best comedy ive seen in a really long time and who ever says it sucks has no sense of humour and obviously no idea what he/she is talking about. and its not for dumb people. so watch it!!!
I'm 20, and this film is by far one of the greatest, if not the greatest,social and political satires of the decade. For what it tries to accomplish it deserves 10/10 because it does it flawlessly. People go into this expecting to watch a comedy and roll around on the floor laughing. It's not a comedy, it's a satire.
How can you even rate it at 6/10 ?! It's fucking bullshit seriously, I haven't even smiled one time...What was the movies budget? 10K $? Seriously, even the fucking cartoons are better -.-... Sorry for so being so angry, but I strongly suggest you ALL DO NOT WATCH THIS SHITTY MOVIE.
Honestly, if you can't get the hilarity of this film, you don't deserve to be watching quality movies. Just be happy with your American Pie 4 or whatever.
The trailer actually makes the film look like it could be half decent, makes it look like it has a plot of some kind. In reality, it's a piece of shit.
stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film stupid film
Okay... some parts of this movie was funny, but there was actually no point to it... lol. Basically, George Clooney justs sleeps around with everyone and people get killed. Didn't get it at all! And the ending was crap lol. But that's just my view! =]
no, thats not true at all. the coen brothers cant develope charactes or end a film. like remember the girls boss? he said he was a priest and he quit, never explained why, than h just gets killed. pointless. like the entire film.
oh my god this movie was genius it was dr strangelove it was dark funny daft and incredibly well acted to me it was a piss take of all those FBI's movie lots of talking no plot, this was loads of action and plot but none of it meant anything my god what a movie oh and "what a Cluster fuck" is now my new favourite saying
Cohen brothers are fucking geniuses!! one of D most sophisticated movies i have ever seen... more than the Oceans more than every thing i can recall at this moment...
to all of you dumb asses that didn't my above comment. i'm talking about the story in all of the coen brothers movies.. the story lines are all about money! the plot is always someone trying to find the money!!!
You should have said, "It's funny how the storyline line revolves around money being the main part of the plot." It's not anyone's fault but your own that you don't explain yourself clearly or in a concise manner. "SO" you come back and restate your question so that people understand it. If you did that in the beginning, you wouldn't be -6 in the red. No one here was being an idiot except you.
Oh and one more thing, Obama is the next President of the USA. McCane is another corporate nazi and a liar like George {Hitler} Bush and his band of brown coats
