I liked this. I really didn't have the highest expectations going in. I figured it would be like "O Brother Where Art Thou". It was a little more light and fun and less high brow. It also reminded me of "Royal Tenenbaums"...but the overall story was very interesting. Jeff Bridges is great, Clooney is great, I think they only cast Ewen McGregor so he could talk about "jedi" in another movie. His American accent annoyed me a bit...but I got over it for the sake of the story. I liked it, especially the ending - cool little twist.
