    Rubbish. I don't understand why George Clooney is still working. That fake smile and uninspiring voice didn't do anything good to this pointless, absurd and stupid story about New Age in the American Army. Ewan McGregor played the usual McGregor character: a naive grown-up that acts like a child. Don't watch this movie.

    Loved this movie, not as fuuny as Burn After Reading but a really good performance from George Clooney.

    Not the political satire I was hoping for but George Clooney is his charming self as ever - worth the 10.50.

    Funny at times, Jeff Bridges and George Clooney are great. But story gets a bit confusing towards the end. Worth a watch though

    Really enjoyable comedy, with plenty of laugh out loud moments. Jeff Bridges is excellent and Kevin Spacey is not far behind.

    We went to see this fim last Friday courtesy of Easons.Myself and my husband enjoyed the film although at times the film seems unsure as to whether to portray the "psychic" soldiers as truly psychic or as idiots. There was a q&a session afterwards by the author, Jon Ronson, which was very entertaining.
