Welcome to Reel People. It’s a place where, you guessed it, real people like yourselves spout off on new movie releases. It works best if you - yes, we mean you - jump into the forum link below and tell us what you think of the movie, too.

This week, we’re watching Burn After Reading.

What I Liked: Brad Pitt and George Clooney. They were absolutely hilarious. Brad Pitt as a hyped up personal training with the common sense of a gnat and George Clooney as an over the top paranoid sex crazed cheater makes this movie a comedic hit.

What I Disliked: Without their performances, the movie would fall flat. The story takes at least twenty minutes to even get into as nothing is really clear what is going on until then. Plus, it could have been MUCH more funny. This film could have been a comedic genius but it doesn’t go all the way.

Would I Recommend?: Yes, for the cynical over 21 crowd who can understand and maybe even relate to some of these zany characters. This is not for the kids or the family. This is the perfect film for when you are having a bad day at work and you want to laugh and watch other people suffer for a little while!

Score: 7 out of 10

What I Liked: Everything.  It mixes a brilliant group of actors who always give interesting performances; a clever, sly script; and well-paced momentum. The entire cast of this movie are solid in their roles, but Brad Pitt is exceptional.  His turn as a gum-chewing highlighted airhead is worth of an Oscar nomination.

What I Disliked: My only qualm about this movie is that I find the Coen brothers predilection for sudden acts of violence a little disconcerting.

Would I Recommend?: I’d definitely strongly recommend it.  It’s a superb comedy that an adult can sit through without novacaining one’s brain first.

Score: 8 out of 10
