Just saw this yesterday. Clooney is wonderful in this role. Sexy when he's in the flashbacks (must have lost some weight for those scenes) and then has long hair - that was a different look for him. Spacey was wasted (he's such a great actor but didn't have that much acting to do in this movie). Bridges was "meh" (not great, not bad). Little bit on an in-joke with "Jedi Soldiers" and McGregor. One scene with a naked soldier, a gun and a courtyard might be a bit disturbing after Ft Hood incident, but totally different circumstances and outcome. Overall, very strange, disjointed (much of the story is told in flashbacks), but nice matinee entertainment. Only bit of advice: Don't drink the water. (inside joke, you'll understand after you see the movie).

Kona, I wish I had drank the water, it may have made the movie watchable. Everyone except for DH and I left well before the end of the movie. We were the only two people left in the whole theater!

I think this is a situation where the ads set up false expectations. I was expecting a low budget indie-style quirky film and that's exactly what I got and I really enjoyed it. DH thought it was going to be a slapstick, joyeous comedy and just hated it.

My Son and I seen it and didn't like it. We also almost left except I made us stay because movie cost so much to see now that I didn't want to waste my money and time. I think the only funny stuff in the movie they showed in the previews. It wasn't even one of those so stupid it's funny kind of movies.
