I must say I really enjoyed this film. Coen Bros are pretty hit and miss for me and this is a definite hit. Clooney, wow. Every movie of his I see the more I just love the guy, he's the Cary Grant of our generation (I think I am echoing GT's comments on the guy, could have been someone else though). Dialogue, as always for a Coen Bros film, flowed nicely. I wonder how much research is done into each region/niche they are trying to capture when writing a script. The fast dialogue, the slow clapping scene, the improptu kisses...I just felt the same glamour and pishnazz that the Classical Hollywood Films gave, which I think was the point. Probably one of my top 5 movies I have seen, yet this year.
I want to point out that this is not a film I was looking forward to, I just thought I owed my g/f a romantic comedy and this is one I would go see with her.
