If you have a sense of humor that may be considered a little "off center," this is a movie for you. I laughed out loud, hard, on more than a few occasions. The story seemed a bit far fetched (it being based on actual events and all) but, I'm sure that anything is possible. The actor's performances are what you may assume they would be. Overall, I enjoyed myself and will purchase the DVD when it comes out.

Maybe they should have concentrated on a comedy and not a thinly veiled attempt to to slam our troops and former president. What a waste of time and money not to mention the fosil fuel I burned driving to the theater. I have never written a review for a movie before but was sickened after watching this movie and felt compelled to do so. i used to be a Clooney and Bridges fan, but no more.

My friend wanted to leave in just 30 minutes, but I said "no, lets wait". Then when I woke up she said "can we leave now?' She woke up a few minutes before me and didn't want to wake me. Popcorn was good.

funny for first 20 minutes

Grant Heslov directed this 1.5hr comedy that was based on journalist/author Jon Ronson's 2004 book of the same title which chronicled Ronson's investigations into the U.S. Army's attempts to use psychic abilities. This wacky satire starred George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey, Robert Patrick, and Stephen Lang - a competent cast that turned in wonderfully hilarious amusing performances that began with Stephen Lang trying(with dire consequence) to run through a wall. From then on the witty whimsical laughs just kept piling up with each scene more amusing, incredulous and outrageous than the previous. Honestly, I am STILL chuckling as I recall a few of the bizarre antics and rib-tickling scenes. Jedi-jokes aplenty - w/ Ewan keeping a straight face. Decent production values, moderate pacing plus minimalist plot and multiple flashbacks helped gel this eccentric movie. VERDICT: If you enjoy satires and farcical movies, this is a gem you MUST SEE.
