It is much less graphic than its preceeder, "No Country for Old Men". The sex is not too strong - we don't see any nudity, but we hear moaning.
In one scene we see a chair featuring a rubber penis. The language is typically R-Rated. Apart from this, there is nothing too strong. I think mature teens can handle the movie. Teen, 14 years old Written by Stevie June 2, Dark Comedy has loads of language Constant language fills this comedy.
There's some sexual content, fairly crude, but not often at all. Same with violence, minimal, but disturbing. Teen, 14 years old Written by majema June 22, Christ what a waste of money I've never seen a movie so boring, so uninteresting with a lazy ending. The set up is that a women wants to increase her cleavage but doesn't have the cash, and somehow finds important information on a CD which I think was from the FBI or CIA.
She figures if she returns it, she'll get a reward and somehow this leads to people hearing about it and trying to kill and lie to get it. The movie takes this simple idea and just makes it go on forever and making it complex as possible. It's not intended for kids since its dark, has sexual references but maybe its because its boring, drags on forever and it isn't funny.
Teen, 13 years old Written by Yeah. February 27, Check my page for other great recommendations. I'm not here to give a review because if it shows up on my page its a 5 star movie and so therefore you know what i think about it.
Teen, 15 years old Written by mongofa June 10, For mid-teens, but adults would enjoy it most It was so-so, the Coen brothers are one of my favorites but this didn't do it for me, because I thought the plot was confusing.
If I was older I would've prabably understood it more. Teen, 17 years old Written by whitesoxbuff March 9, As much as I liked Brad Pitt the scene where he got shot was the best part. But it got boring after that. Teen, 13 years old Written by godawgs56 January 19, Without Brad Pitt the movie would have been a disaster. But they had him so it was okay. Kid, 12 years old December 31, This Movie Is Terrible.
Totally Innapropriate This Movie Sucks. First of all the funniest character gets shot in the head halfway into the movie. A guy makes a sex machine that you sit on and a sex toy shoots up.
At the end the only character who isn't either a liar or a cheater gets butchered to death. The story line was horrible. Do not go see this movie. His chilly wife, Katie Tilda Swinton , can't be bothered to be sympathetic; she's too busy sleeping with Harry Pfarrer George Clooney , a married federal marshal who's into infidelity, jogging, and hardwood floors. Then Osborne's manifesto-in-progress -- and a bunch of other personal data -- is purloined, falling into the hands of dim-bulb gym trainer Chad Feldheimer Brad Pitt and his coworker Linda Litzky Frances McDormand , who desperately yearns for plastic surgery.
Linda thinks the manuscript and, ostensibly, its secrets could be her ticket to beauty-ville, leading her and Chad down a very messy road. And they're not the only ones on the path, either. The farce begins with the opening credits' satellite pictures and sinister footfalls and doesn't let up from there.
In the Coens' zany universe, nothing is sacred -- not marriage, not friendship, not even the CIA. Violence punctuates the jokes you'll laugh; you can't help it. The brothers have assembled an incomparable cast, mixing up a potent dark comedy potion. Start with Pitt as funny as he's ever been , then add a dash of Swinton, a swig of Clooney, and plenty of Malkovich for good measure. But it's really McDormand who owns the film; Linda is so desperate and yet so likeable that the madness she cooks up is almost palatable.
Still, Burn After Reading is no Fargo. For all its cheek, it's not actually all that brazen. It doesn't push the envelope far enough -- at least for a Coen brothers movie.
It lacks a certain amount inspiration and, well, to paraphrase one character, a point. Not that having a point is a must. But when characters are expended as blithely as they are here, you can't help asking that question. Then again, maybe we don't always need a reason to laugh out loud. Families can talk about whether any of the characters in the movie can be considered role models. What motivates them to behave the way they do? What do they have in common with characters in other Coen brothers movies?
How does the movie as a whole stack up against the Coens' other films? Families can also discuss how a mountain is made out of a molehill in the movie. How does the situation escalate so quickly?
