Good throwaway fun IMO , Great performances all round too as you'd expect
I haven't been going to the cinema anywhere near as much as I used to these days, and I'm not generally a massive fan of the Coen Brothers, but I thought this film was great. I generally don't get the Coen brothers' humour, but this time I thought it was hilarious. So far it's had pretty mixed reviews from what I've seen, but it's definitely a decent way to waste 90 minutes.
My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method, is love. I love you Sheriff Truman.

one of the best films i've seen this year. Well written, well directed and well acted. A great use of 2 hrs of anyones life !!!!
Ignore Max Power, he is no more, the future is Ron Burgundy. I'd love to be Ron Burgundy but they won't let me........
Pitt and Clooney? No way, would rather watch High Street Musial please
Must go see it this week.

I saw it last night. I really enjoyed it as did everybody else I saw it with. Good fun, it's not setting out to win any awards or critical acclaim though the majority of reviews have been positive. Great performances all round as somebody mentioned above from a great cast. Well worth seeing.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
much better than a foot ie review for sure
great cast - please
i downloaded Dead mans Shoes today, watched it now for the 4th time - give me a grim gritty british story any day of the week
seems the Coen brothers only ever make a decent movie every second time, so i will watch their next one!
What about Empire magazine, The Irish Times, the Irish Independent, Hot Press to name but four reviews all of which gave it four stars?. If you're going to be influenced by what critics tell you to that extent you should be getting a broader opinion base than three people on one programme.
Upwards to the vanguard where the pressure is too high.
So this film is ruled out by one bad review, and the next is ruled in by the historic pattern of their film releases; a pattern that doesn't hold up to much scrutiny.

Good solid movie. Not too long & moves along at good pace with some good laughs to keep you interested. You won't be rolling around on the floor laughing but such is black comedies.
To be fair Peter Bradshaw from the guardian ripped it to shreds.....I'll hopefully catch this at the weekend. I'm not expecting greatness!!!

You'll NEVER beat the Irish.......you'll just draw with us instead!!!
