I looove the Coen Brothers' films, particularly the ones with a comedic edge (although No Country for Old Men is an amazing achievement, I definitely prefer the laughs in Fargo). Yet I have now seen a number of bad reviews of Burn After Reading (including EW and the New Yorker, two of my reliable sources). So the question is, do I go see it this weekend anyway?
The answer has to be yes (particularly since I also looooove George Clooney) but I'm trying to steel myself to be disappointed. I still can't really believe that with that cast (Brad Pitt, Frances McDorman, John Malkovich and Tilda Swinton in addition to George), the Coen Brothers could make a film I could dislike. Hell, I even liked Intolerable Cruelty, so I'm thinking the odds I like Burn After Reading may still be in the Coen Brothers' favor. Either way, you'll be the first to know what I think!
