Last movie seen: The Men Who Stare At Goats

It's one of those films from which you don't expect much, but come away pleasantly surprised and end up recommending to all and sundry. The Men Who Stare At Goats is a ridiculous, light-hearted Coen-esque comedy that doesn't ask much of its viewers other than for them to be entertained.

George Clooney and Jeff Bridges are, as ever, perfect in their roles. The former as the protege of the latter - a New Age army general promoting peace and love above war and violence. Kevin Spacey even manages to not appear smug in his role in the film; something he hasn't managed since appearing in The Usual Suspects back in 1995.

Were it not for McGregor's inability to do any accent, the film would have a higher rating.
