Burn After Reading was, to me, the perfect comedy. It was Classic Coen Brothers, like Fargo or Raising Arizona. Full of completely random, WTF? humor. And totally hysterical. Now, I guess it depends on your sense of humor. It's getting mixed reviews and some people at the theater tonight hated it. But I left the theater laughing, I laughed in the car, and I laughed for a good hour afterward thinking about it.
Brad Pitt is hysterical. J.K. Simmons steals the movie and he's in it for probably 6 minutes. He's what made me laugh most of all. Him, and the machine George Clooney builds in his basement. For real. It's a totally absurd movie, where dumb people get in over their heads and there are big misunderstandings and everyone's paranoid and people accidentally get killed - it's fabulous!
