i hear one reviewer say that this film be a bubby movie and yah know one of those film where every actor be friend with every other actor and the director ( or in this case director ) and they all basically just dick around on camera for 2 hour and call it a movie . i wouldn not call it that necessarily call burn after read that but i would call it a hollywood indie . a hollywood indie be a mainstream hollywood film with a big budget and a huge a list cast and but whose script sound like it be write by a struggle brooklyn artist who previous experience in film consist of make pod for current tv about how great barrack obama apparently be . the coen brother seem to be the king of hollywood indie and since they direct half of the one i can name off the top of my head . burn after read will most likely be count among the less of the coen brother film and and rightly so since it do seem to lack the aesthetic appeal of their previous film and but i do not think this film should be count a one of the their funnier film . most of the coen brother comedy aren not really comedy and their more like movie that be weird in a kind of funny way . yet the invisible pigeon hole society must assign these film a genre and and since their not weird enough to be label surrealist or experimental and they get the title comedy simply because a few people in the theater may giggle a few of the joke in the film . the point i be desperately try to get to here be that and i do not laugh at either the big lebowski or o brother and where art thou despite the fact they be rather funny and i laugh several time at burn after reading and and i laugh rather hard to . burn after reading be weird and a be all dark comedy and but it not quite to the level a most coen film and weather this a complement of an insult be a matter of interpretation . what really impressed me in this film be brad pitt and france mcdormand performance and everyone else performance be take it or leave it . brad and france be like some kind of weird fitness center employee duo who stumble upon cia secret somehow and try to milk to cow for what it worth . i know france be a good actress and but brad pitt act well be something new to me . i mean i always through his performance in fight club be good only because he really be play the same character he usually do but this time in a quality film . i do not know if the coen brother do something to him and or maybe he be hide something from u and but his character be by far the best in the film . but then again his character be a dribble idiotic health nut with some mildly homosexual personality trait and so maybe brad wasn not even act and maybe he be just be himself ( ha ha ha ) . what make burn after read less of a film then most coen brother work be that there be not any real thought involve . the second i press the stop button on my dvd i almost totally forgot about the movie and a good film be one can not get out of your head for a week after watch it and and most coen brother film do that . listen and burn after reading be out on dvd now so it defiantly worth rent and especially if you have netflix . it good for some laugh and and it still rather coen y so go pick it up .
