Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Here's an anomaly: a comedy about smart people.

fresh:
The Coens do an efficient job of stamping their signature grotesquerie on sumptuous Beverly Hills and Las Vegas settings and ladling on gallows humor and malice, sometimes with the verve of early Robert Zemeckis.

Inventive and hilarious.

fresh:
The Coen Brothers do provide enough of a diversion with bits and pieces of wacko casting, and with the deranged details of dress and makeup of their fleeting gargoyles, to make the proceedings at least moderately amusing.

rotten:
This dim-witted, mean-spirited and brain-dead calamity should surprise no one.
