Maybe its just me, or could it be that the Coen Brothers have actually lost their touch? The thing is, I'll watch just about anything with their names on it. All the more so, if there's the added value of having Colin Firth to drool over in the process. But this is far from your typical Coen Brothers film.
Despite some very funny moments, a fun story and a good twist in the end, there seems to be little of the original, puzzling or fascinating fingerprint that Coen Brothers films usually have. Moreover, Cameron Diaz's terribly fake-sounding southern accent and over-the-top performance will give viewers a sour aftertaste, along with a hunger to return to more intelligent comic wit.
But if you don't care that lots of the humor is lowbrow, and you're in the mood to get a couple of glimpses at Alan Rickman's bare behind, go for it! But I can't give this more than 3.5 stars out of 5.
