Amusing Film About Psychic CIA
Added 3/8/2010
I don't know how much truth is in this film but I can actually see the CIA trying this once upon a time. The premise is that during the "tune out, drop acid" time the military got very interested in cultivating esp powers. George Clooney was one of these agents who got in touch with his psychic powers. Present day Ewan McGregor gets to know him and introduced to him and all his looney buddies who still try and zone out. Jeff Bridges is one of the looniest. This was amusing for about an hour and then the one continual joke premise joke ran out of gas. If you need something light and amusing to watch, this is worth that. It is certainly NOT Dr. Strangelove though, not by a long shot!

Worst Movie in 2009
Added 3/4/2010
Is there a zero rating, because this movie would be five under it. I can't say one good thing about this movie. It was a real disappoinment. I love George Clooney, but this is the worst movie he has ever done. It didn't end fast enough for me. It was long, boring, even "Entertainment Tonight" rated it as one of the worst movies of the year. I can't agree more. I hope this review saves all you possible future viewers from this movie. Don't waste your money or time on it.

Be ALL you can be...

If you ever wondered what the Republicans are doing with your money in Iraq, here's one answer. I wouldn't call it a comedy as much as a tragedy of sorts. We always knew the Feds were exploiting all that was good in us. Now, we have proof. Don't expect to laugh as much as have your eyes opened--in a big way. This is a prime example of how to use all our god-given gifts for evil AKA war. It's an important movie for you to watch, if only to understand why the Iraqis will have actual reason to kill us in the future. God help us all...
If you want to know more about what your gifts are, this movie will illuminate parts of that. However, this is not the movie to show you HOW to use your gifts.

May be the worst movie I've EVER seen
Added 2/24/2010
I just had to go see this movie due to the cast. I was expecting it to be funny but didn't expect much more. The film has little story, contrived plot if you can call it a plot, a dumb ending and was a general waste of time. I regreted watching it to the end.

Excellent
Added 2/11/2010
This movie is a must-see, even if you like it or not, in the end it has a very good message, it is an excellent movie regardless of other commentaries i've read here.
I recommend this movie just like i would: K-pax, Donnie Darko, Gladiator, and others.
