This was a pretty fantastic movie - sure, far fetched but what might you have been expecting? VERY entertaining, and despite my fear of 2-1/2 hour movie, it never became boring. If you're looking for 'the sound of music', this might not be the movie for you ;)
We all know the Movie Trailer can make any movie appear to be whatever they wanted. Though "Burn after Reading" was Ok (just Ok), it wasn't the movie which the Trailer leads you to believe. I think they tried to play on the success of "Oceans 11+" with Clooney & Pitt. Don't skip seeing the movie, just wait until its on your television ;)
