I enjoyed this movie because 1.) I love John Malkovich. I love his voice. I want my documentary to be narrated by him. (not that I am important enough to have a documentary, but you know what I mean. 2.) Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt are such bumbling idiots, you can't help but laugh at the situation they get themselves into. George Clooney, although I am not a huge fan, is pretty funny as well. I watch it whenever it's on cable just to have a good chuckle.

It's certainly better than the Coens' other recent comedies. After Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers, BAR comes as something of a relief.
