Well, I thought it was funnier than Lebowski. The plot kept you on the edge of your seat the entire time.
As far as the cast, Tilda Swinton is frigging scary in this movie. Her character made my stomach turn. I haven't seen Mexican, so this was the first time I saw Brad Pitt show his silly side and I liked it. Same with Frances Mcdormand's character's cluelessness. They both were so out of their usual characters.
Clooney was his usual brilliant self. Does he need a reliable housekeeper that will pamper him like he deserves? But it was the WRITING and the EDITING that were the real stars. I've seen a few Coen movies and this one is now my second favorite, after Hudsucker Proxy which was brilliance and class all wrapped up together.
