Why I love it...
George Clooney and the Coen brothers is a match made in heaven. Their humor is perfectly complimentary and when you throw in actors like John Turturro, Holly Hunter, Tim Blake Nelson, and John Goodman- you can't go wrong.
But my favorite things about this movie are simply how different it is from most movies from the last few decades. The humor is witty and even sometimes harsh. The storyline is like a more realistic tall tale. And the music, bluegrass traditional songs, is one of the best soundtracks out there. I love this movie cause it makes me laugh uncontrollably about things that are simple. They didn't ruin the film by trying too hard- it is what it is. You try doing that with a modern adaptation of a Homer classic.
