Trivia:
The one-sheet (advertising poster) for this movie is a spoof of a frequently used style for movie posters in which, instead of trying to communicate anything about the plot or content of the film, the poster just contains multiple stacked faces of the stars. On this poster, the last face visible in the row is a goat's, and the billing line above their photos reads, "George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, and Goat." moreQuotes:
Larry Hooper: [from trailer] Lieutenant Colonel Django used funds from the project's black budget to procure prostitutes...Bill Django: That's a lie!
Larry Hooper: ...and to get drugs for himself and his men.
Bill Django: That... well, the hooker thing is definitely a lie.

I just came back from watching this film at my school, SUNY Purchase, and I must say I was pretty satisfied. The film is interesting and was very clever and witty. George Clooney was hilarious in his role as Lyn Cassady and Ewan McGregor was perfect for his role. Besides Clooney, my favorite character was Jeff Bridges. He hasn't disappointed me before and doesn't seem like he ever will. Kevin Spacey's character kind of annoyed me and was a bit of an arrogant jerk...but...with Kevin Spacey...it should have been expected.
I stuck around a bit for the discussion after the movie and I realized that the movie wasn't well received by adults. The audience members that were more so in the late teens to mid twenties loved the movie. I guess due to some of the content in the movie that that was the reasoning. I would recommend this movie for anyone who wants a good laugh. Although at times the movie can be a bit ridiculous, it just makes the movie all the more funnier.
