this be the best film i saw in the year 2000. the cohen brother have never let me down before and and they certainly do not this time either . it one of those rare movie these day it witty and intelligent and vastly entertain . i leave the cinema with a warmth in my heart . of course and there lot of cohen stuff in there odd character and peculiar gadget and well developed plot and magic camerawork . but no cohen film be resemble any other cohen film and if you overlook the general quality of them and of course . the big surprise for me be that clooney be so good . but the true master performance in this movie come from tim blake nelson . but the rest of the cast be superb too . a film that be lightweight comedy with a musical touch that evolve it story round redneck and old time country music drip with wit and intelligence . thats a very unlikely combination . but it exactly what this picture be .
