How many times did you laugh?

I laughed a whole lot. And I watched the film by myself. I laughed most often during the meetings between the two CIA bigwigs. The way they were dealing with a mess that didn't really matter beyond the fact that it was messy. Hilarious! This is the whole point, just in case someone missed the big picture here, I will spell it out:

People commit desperate acts to amend their pointless lives and in consequence reveal the hopelessness of life. The last lines of the movie say it all. Something like:

"Well we learned never to do it again..."

"Uh-huh"

"But I'm not even sure I know what the hell we did."

"Me either."

And that's the Coen Brothers' philosophy on life!

Oh, you are one of those dummies who needs laughing audience in the background to know what's funny, huh? When something is little bit more sophisticated than just good old fart jokes, than it's too hard for you. OK, I got it.

I got at least five big laughs out of this, mostly from Pitt and Clooney. Once I understood the absurdity of the whole thing, it was easier to let go and LOL.

Expiration dates are mere suggestions! Like late fees and traffic lights.

The "you're in league with these morons, you're in a league of morons" dialogue had me laughing extra audibly and hysterically, I still to this day accuse people of being in a league of morons i'm waging war against.

Pitt had some funny ones and I thought when the CIA boss asked what did we learn from this and said *beep* if I know" was the funniest line.

i remember distinctly laughing 3 times, brad pitt's stupid grin in the closet followed by the gunshot, malkovich hacking away at jenkins in the street wearing a bathrobe and jk simons final dialogue.

hilarious movie.

3 laughs, 2 chuckles, 2 "ha's", 4 half-smiles
