Editorial Reviews

Joel and Ethan Coen's jet-black comedy Burn After Reading begins with CIA agent Osborne Cox (John Malkovich) losing his job. This prompts his long-suffering, unfaithful wife (Tilda Swinton) to consult a lawyer about divorcing him. Osborne decides to write a book about his exploits, but an early draft of his work ends up lost at a gym where it's found by the dim-witted Chad (Brad Pitt, and the plastic-surgery obsessed Linda (Frances McDormand). They decide to blackmail Osborne in order to help Linda pay for the numerous procedures she wants to undergo. Things grow even more complicated when Linda starts an affair with Harry (George Clooney), who also happens to be sleeping with Cox's wife. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide

Brilliantly funnyby adamgn

September 05, 2009: A dark and hilarious comedy from the Coen Brothers. Not a traditional comedy and hard from people to watch. There are no redeeming characters in this movie -- which usually makes a movie unwatchable. But the script is so funny and the actors are so talented, it all seems to come together. For me at least.

I know a lot of folks did not like this movie, but I highly recommend it.

May 26, 2009: This has got to be one of the most confusing and funny movies I've ever seen. it's definately the kind of movie where after you watch it, you kind of find yourself just sitting there wondering what just happened! but it is very funny, definately a movie I've watched more than once and recommeneded to friends. it has that dry, sick sense of humor you don't really find anymore.
