AJ_Franklin-2 Review of O Brother, Where Art Thou?

O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)

Lots of money and big names...so where's the meat?

[5/10 · 14 June 2001]

(dvd-view) Ok so we have a mediocre plot and some good names. You had better have a pot of strong coffee handy. So the main character (Clooney) likes to keep his hair pretty with pomade and hairnets. And a Mississippi chain gang ain't the place to spend 1929. Why doesn't some big time movie critic just say it: "This is a lousy waste of time." This movie proves that everyone likes a fat pay day for as little work as possible.

A Mississippi chain gang is probably a more exciting and involving experience than this movie. Some good moments and a tongue in cheek performance by George Clooney rate it a 5/10 stars for me. Glad I got it on a 'rent one get one free' deal.
