We went to see "Men Who Stare at Goats" yesterday. I liked it and thought it was laugh-out-loud funny, especially in the beginning. I will agree with a review I read that said the backstories were the really good and funny parts. The present day sequences weren't as funny, but I see they almost had to put it in a story-telling mode, because you certainly couldn't tell it from the POV of one of the psi-warriors, cause that would just be too warped. But anyway, I liked it, it was absurdist fare at its best. And I love George Clooney. I saw him on Oprah once a while back and he has just the type of humor that I like, very cutting and funny, and that's just his natural personality, you could tell. So the Goat movie gets my personal stamp of approval.
