I am too quick to give a movie five stars, but I won't stop doing it!

    A truly silly and heartfelt delight. Run, don't walk to the theater to support this beautiful little film! Packed to the brim with great gags. Nothing too groundbreaking but very timeless and fun and honestly felt like a breath of fresh air compared to the irony soaked "post-modern" meta stuff that studios tend to pigeonhole cartoon characters into. I love cartoons and silliness and all that stuff.

    "You got, like, Gatorade or anything besides Maryland swamp water?"

    A classic Coen brothers romp. It's insane that this came out right after No Country for Old Men, but it's so dark and funny and nihilistic that it fits perfectly into their filmography. Like "No Country", "Fargo," and even "Macbeth" this film argues a nihilistic worldview, that life is not a vast conspiracy to untangle and control, but instead an arbitrary string of terrible events that you may or may not find yourself coming out of alive.

    I went to the theater with my girlfriend and another friend. We took an edible beforehand. It starts kickin' in as the trailers end. Pretty stoked for the movie. I've got my soda and everything. Opening image, a train station. Kieran Culkin appears onscreen. Nice, I didn't realize he was gonna be in this! There's some murmuring around the theater. Jesse Eisenberg shows up. Someone yells "It's the wrong movie". We look around confused. Plenty of murmuring now. A team…

    A complete mess. How can I give something 5 stars and 1 star at the same time? Completely unmatched movie.
