| Homer in Mississippi?
O Brother, Where Art Thou? review I thought it was a great idea to put Homer's story in a Mississippi setting. Even if you don't think this movie is funny you still have to admit that it's entertaining. The unique characters and beautiful music help add to this amazing adventure.

| They came so close...
To making this a great movie. The music is great, the acting is superb, but the story was at times just too hard to piece together. The men who wrote this movie are trying to re-tell Homer's "Odyssey" from a 1937 Mississippi point of view... good idea, but came up short of the potential this movie had to be a classic.

| Homer's Odyssey in the 21st century
This is a wonderful adaption of the Odyssey to America's depressed South, replete with a blind prophet, sirens, cyclops and treasures found then lost.

| O Brother, What A Great Movie !!!
When I rented this movie from the local video shop, I had absolutely no idea what to expect. Before I returned the video, I had watched it four times! What a hoot! It helped that I'm familiar with much of the music in the movie and could relate the characters to their counterparts in Homer's "Oddysey" But, that doesn't matter. This movie had me bent over laughing. The scenes at the radio station with the Soggy Bottom Boys are reason enough to get this movie. This movie is just chock full of great scenes. Never a dull moment. And the music is absolutely wonderful. Great songs performed by great performers. To see George Clooney performing "Mam Of Constant Sorrow" (even if he is lip-syncing) is priceless. Get this movie. It is, by far, one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in a long, long time. And while you're at it, pick yourself up some Dapper Dan Pomade for that special look....
