I don't see how anyone can not like this movie. Great soundtrack. The more you watch it, the more jokes you get.

One of my top 5 favorites. The soundtrack is incredible.

You cannot laugh more! Great one liners you will never forget and have fun using!

Funny, silly movie. 3 1/2 stars would say it best.

This is a decidedly creative effort on the part of the Coen brothers. The story line more or less owes its sequencing to Homer's Odyssey with a nod to its plot line, where the golden fleece is the treasure from a bank heist being sought by a trio of semi-competent chain gang escapees. Clever use of sepia toning that dulls greens adds to an old time feeling for the deep South settings in which events take place. George Clooney's deliberate over acting serves well to amp the comic elements of the film, which basically are what make the film work as well as it does (appropriately named Ulysses, his frequent fussing with his hair using "Dapper Dan pomade" is an ongoing theme). The supporting cast is excellent, providing hilarious caricatures for most of the plethora of lame Southerners the movie industry has loved to lampoon over the years (fat politicians, KKK loonies, chain gangs, naive bumpkins, Bible salesmen, law men per Bonnie and Clyde, etc). There's even a hilarious encounter with sirens as perhaps the most obvious nod to the Odyssey. I've revisited this film twice now and my two later viewings only strengthened my appreciation for the film.

Great adaptation of Homer's Odyssey to mid twentieth century America.
