Very funny and quirky film. Good acting and impressive story line. Based on real events. I do think you need to be a high intellect to grasp it's message, it seemed to go over the heads of the general public. It's... Full review

The reason this movie went over the heads of some people, especially audiences younger than say 40, is because characters portrayed in this movie actually exist in that kind of post-60's through late 1980's lunacy of the cold war. I LMAO!... Full review

I can't believe I spent my hard earned money on this film! Maybe I am asking too much when I expect good entertainment value for my money. This movie only mildly entertains. There is no real character development and it is... Full review

I don't know what George Clooney was thinking when he signed up for this one but I have a feeling he didn't read the script, didn't really care about the movie or just doesn't want to be in movies anymore. No... Full review

This movie is a factual account of an actual Special Operation Command (New Age) training program costing millions of dollars. At any point where training was depicted in the film, the dialog was exactly on target. This movie has performed a... Full review

Absolutely stupid, total waste of time and money. So disappointed in George Clooney for making this ridiculously boring, stupid, disjointed movie. Could not make sense out of it and will tell all our friends to skip this one. Hope it disappears... Full review

This is the worst movie I have seen in a long time, maybe ever. All three funny parts in the movie are in the trailers. You keep waiting for the story to come together and next thing you know, the credits... Full review

This movie was NOT good. Several people walked out. We stayed until the bitter end hoping it would get better. It never did. I would not recommend this movie to anyone!... Full review

An absurd, bizarre, goat-filled, and at times laugh out loud funny movie....The film features a dynamite acting performance from McGregor, a delirious plot that sends its characters through unexpected hoops....dialogue that, though the subject matter is not entirely 'believable', is well done nonetheless..... ...

The Men Who Stare at Goats' billy good....it wasn't afraid to be a little challenging as well.....the movie is pretty darn funny as well.....Really "The Men Who Stare at Goats" is just a silly movie....Clooney has a zest for comedic characters.... ... Full Review

You would think that a star-filled cast with the likes of George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Jeff Bridges and Kevin Spacey would make this a great movie....The end result is a lot of angry movie goers..... ... Full Review
