What did you think of the movie Burn After Reading?

Am I missing something? I thought this movie was freaking hiliarious but everyone I talk to hated it. I thought Brad Pitt was perfect as the personal trainer and Francis was so funny and neurotic. I loved it. It had some of the funniest lines that my husband and I kept repeating for months afterward because they were so funny. What did you think?

It's consistently funny -- with witty dialogue and offbeat banter that stays in your head for days. What did you think?

I LOVED it. Brad Pitt is the funniest I have ever seen him. He is so convincing as a dim witted high energy over enthusiastic personal trainer. I thought all the actors were at the top of their game. Francis McDormand was adorable as the neurotic self deprecating character. Awesome dialogue.

The lines had me laughing for days.

I thought you might be worried... about the security... of your sh*t. Too, too funny

When I first saw the trailer for Burn after Reading, I was like..really? The trailer made Brad Pitt look like he was "over-acting", but when I saw the movie, I totally bought into the stupidity of the character. And George Clooney was great as well. The Cohen brothers know what they are doing...

I kind of really didnt like it. SPOILER ALERT

The Brad Pitt murder just didnt make sense to me. Also the gym thing seemed a little forced. All in all it was just a mess. Only Malkovich was even remotely real as a character. Great, Brad Pitt wants to play a weird hyperkinetic gay gymnian (I just invented that word), so good for him, bad for the movie. Great, Clooney and Pitt in a movie together.

I think this was one of those perfect pitches. Oh my GOD, how did we not think of this movie sooner, just make it. And then something went terribly wrong.

Lets give it to the Coen brothers (who by the way made No Country for old men, which i ALSO did not like review of that movie, first third of movie awesome, killed the best part, second part, whats going on, third part, really can this just be over alread? so two bad in a row for them is perhaps telling, an end of an era?) who are "Hollywood gold" to ensure its success.

It was NO Barton Fink, no O Brother Where art thou (I give this a 5/5) or any of the other classics in their arsenal.

I give the acting a 3/5, story 2/5, overall 2.5/5 in others words a solid MEH
