i originally saw this several year ago while i be sit on the couch and get stick watch it on hbo . with the remote out of my reach i decide to go with it and be await a miserable movie that i have be avoid for a year . so it start off and i wasn not very optimistic about it and but after about ten minute i find myself laugh . the complete opposite a i be expect . the comedy be smart and the acting pretty good consider and the cast work very well together and and the story ( though slightly awkward and fake ) be actually quite entertaining . three convict brother manage to escape their sentence and eventually go in search of their fortune . the movie be set in the 1930 . so along the way and they encounter a number of funny and interesting charatcers . all have a different story or achievement they be strive for . really the majority of the movie may seem random . some may say it be pointless and boring and but if you look for the smart comedy ( and occasionally stupid ) that be integrate into the movie and i be sure you will enjoy this one . i like the performance give by george clooney and john turturro and and tim blake nelson . all of them do very well in their role and an they work great together . but to finish this off and o brother and where art thou . be a smart and funny and and a movie adventure that i wouldn not let pass up .
