BURN AFTER READING

I had no idea what this movie was about but just assumed it was a comedy. It turned out to be a dark comedy that is generally hit or miss for me. In this case, it wasn't as black and white as a hit or miss. The movie was actually pretty entertaining for certain stretches. John Malkovich is the man once again and he's just a great actor all around. George Clooney's character was a bit not put together I felt. He started out seeming to be this super spazzy, potentially OCD type character but ended up just being a normal guy who is adulterous. Brad Pitt was pretty funny in his role. The movie was pretty mediocre overall, had its moments, but really shined at the end. The ending made me crack up when the director asks, "Gosh...so what did we learn from all of this?" And the manager replies "I'm not really sure." And then the director goes, "I guess we learned not to ever do it again. Whatever it is we did."

hah!
