I am no film buff, but this is one of the (few films) I have ever seen, it is not only hilarious and so clever, but many of the incidents are based on real events in the Mid West, especially Oklahoma. Watch out for Tim Nelson, the dopey little one!

George Clooney is perfect as the fast-taking leader of the escaped-convicts trio searching for a stash of money and encountering a host of strange characters and adventures along the way. Showing this Tuesday - March 19.
A "loose adaptation" of Homer's ancient Greek epic The Odessey (!), it's filled to the brim with incredible performances as is typical with Coen films.
