Only Joel and Ethan Coen, the fraternal director and producer team behind art-house hits such as The Big Lebowski and Fargo and masters of quirky and ultra-stylish genre subversion, would dare nick the plot line of Homer's Odyssey for a comic picaresque saga about three cons on the run in 1930s Mississippi. Our wandering hero in this case is one Ulysses Everett McGill, a slick-tongued wise guy with a thing about hair pomade (George Clooney, blithely sending up his own dapper image) who talks his chain-gang buddies (Coen-movie regular John Turturro and newcomer Tim Blake Nelson) into lighting out after some buried loot he claims to know of. En route they come up against a prophetic blind man on a railroad truck, a burly, one-eyed baddie (the ever-magnificent John Goodman), a trio of sexy singing ladies, a blues guitarist who's sold his soul to the devil, a brace of crooked politicos on the stump, a manic-depressive bank robber, and--well, you get the idea. Into this, their most relaxed film yet, the Coens have tossed a beguiling ragbag of inconsequential situations, a wealth of looping, left-field dialogue, and a whole stash of gags both verbal and visual. O Brother (the title's lifted from Preston Sturges's classic 1941 comedy Sullivan's Travels) is furthermore graced with glowing, burnished photography from Roger Deakins and a masterly soundtrack from T-Bone Burnett that pays loving homage to American '30s folk styles--blues, gospel, bluegrass, jazz, and more. And just to prove that the brothers haven't lost their knack for bad-taste humor, we get a Ku Klux Klan rally choreographed like a cross between a Nuremberg rally and a Busby Berkeley musical. --Philip Kemp

The first time I saw the movie, I didn't realize George Cloony did comedy roles. But he's great. It took me a couple times of watching this movie, but it grew on me. Then I lent my DVD out, never got it back, so now I've got another one. (Now, I just tell 'friends' to get their own copy!) I also have the soundtrack from the movie. It's just a great funny movie. All the actors (and singers) are good, and the movie takes an extremely exaggerated view (politically mainly!) of the depression times the ... Read More

George Clooney is utterly convincing as an intelligent yet unsophisticated con artist. He and his friends, Pete and Delmar, take us on a journey that we won't soon forget. You will be laughing so much and so hard that your ribs will be sore for days!
You just haven't lived until you've seen this movie and gotten the giggle hiccups.

FUNNY AS THEY GET. SOGGY BOTTOM BOYS ARE GREAT. BIG DAN, GEORGE CLOONEY, AND THE COEN BROTHERS MAKE THIS A SUPER FUNNY MOVIE. NOT TO GOOD FOR CHILDREN, BUT GOOD STORY OF THE TIMES.

Captivating sound track and classic Homer remake of an Epic Greek story the Odyssey or was it the Illiad; can't remember but it is super funny and DVD is worth adding to your collection.

This is one of my all time favorite movies. It's very funny, plus it has a lot of good bluegrass in it.
