VHS Movie Reviews of O Brother Where Art Thou
Movie Review: Depression-era Odyssey would do Homer proud
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent interpretation of Homer's Odyssey with a rare accurate portrayal of the South of the 1930s. Excellent character actors and outstanding music played in the period style.Movie Review: One of the funniest movies of all time.
Summary: 5 Stars
This Movie is great on so many levels. The writing is hillarious and casting is spot on. Clooney's character is great. The music is great. I just don't know how to praise it any more. I've watched the movie multiple times and still laugh out loud every time. Thats why I had to add it to my collection.Movie Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent movie. The story was well presented & the singing was excellent. I guess George got that singing talent from Rosemary. I would recommend this movie to anybody. Very good film.Movie Review: Best sound track and a good fun to boot!
Summary: 5 Stars
O Brother... has one of the best sound tracks ever, if you like blue grass music. It's sound track is a classic. Not only that but the story line is a great one too. It's funny and entertaining. I highly recommend it!Movie Review: Oh Brother!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have viewed Oh Brother Where Art Thou several times. It is very funny, has great music, and keeps me laughing for hours, if not days. All the characters are great and believable. We love this video at my house.
Summary of O Brother Where Art Thou
Only Joel and Ethan Coen, the fraternal director and producer team behind art-house hits such as The Big Lebowski and Fargo and masters of quirky and ultra-stylish genre subversion, would dare nick the plot line of Homer's Odyssey for a comic picaresque saga about three cons on the run in 1930s Mississippi. Our wandering hero in this case is one Ulysses Everett McGill, a slick-tongued wise guy with a thing about hair pomade (George Clooney, blithely sending up his own dapper image) who talks his chain-gang buddies (Coen-movie regular John Turturro and newcomer Tim Blake Nelson) into lighting out after some buried loot he claims to know of. En route they come up against a prophetic blind man on a railroad truck, a burly, one-eyed baddie (the ever-magnificent John Goodman), a trio of sexy singing ladies, a blues guitarist who's sold his soul to the devil, a brace of crooked politicos on the stump, a manic-depressive bank robber, and--well, you get the idea. Into this, their most relaxed film yet, the Coens have tossed a beguiling ragbag of inconsequential situations, a wealth of looping, left-field dialogue, and a whole stash of gags both verbal and visual. O Brother (the title's lifted from Preston Sturges's classic 1941 comedy Sullivan's Travels) is furthermore graced with glowing, burnished photography from Roger Deakins and a masterly soundtrack from T-Bone Burnett that pays loving homage to American '30s folk styles--blues, gospel, bluegrass, jazz, and more. And just to prove that the brothers haven't lost their knack for bad-taste humor, we get a Ku Klux Klan rally choreographed like a cross between a Nuremberg rally and a Busby Berkeley musical. --Philip KempBuddy Films Video
