I went to see this movie recently and I have to say it was a great experience. I had seen some of the trailers and TV spots and I really was looking forward to seeing this movie. From the moment the movie started I loved it, it just got my attention because of how good the material is. George Clooney is excellent in his role on the screen as he gives an Oscar worthy performance. His character is a classic, in my opinion. The whole cast was so convincing given that the whole idea of the movie and it being a true story was kind of far out, but they make it believable. This movie is not for everyone. The humor is kind of dark and some people may not understand or appreciate it as I did. To me this movie was hilarious, I was laughing out loud in some parts. It also had a good little story and a great cast. I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to laugh at a far out, and crazy movie.
