rented O Brother, Where Art Thou? and i enjoyed it. could've been funnier
a lot gags just didn't pan out. it's not the fault of the 3 leads, though, as they were fantastic.
it's a good renter, but i'm glad i didn't bother to see it in the theater.
misc highlights:
the singing, dancing Klansmen were simultaneously irritating and fun. the 2 other guys with Clooney were very, very funny and spot on as clueless Southerners. Clooney was great as well, but his character shifted from inbred idiot to sophisticated con man from scene to scene with little reason other than is was what the bit required. it's been said before, but i was blown away with Clooney's voice, assuming it was his and unadulterated
good, goofy comedy ... 3 quacks out of 5
