Spy-jinx abound when goofy co-workers obtain what might be sensitive security information from a down-on-his-luck CIA agent whose wife is banging a scuzzy lothario with ties to them all.

What?

It was okay. Brad Pitt was actually quite good and the film had its moments but overall one of the weakest of the Coen Brothers ouevre.

Meh. Expectations got the best of me for this one.

Mildly funny throughout but pointless and stupid, even for them. It's hard not to like watching Clooney.

I generally don't like Coen Bros. films, but I found this one entertaining.

Stupid, sure. But I laughed.

J.K. Simmons, as the CIA guy, stole every scene he was in.
