Only Joel and Ethan Coen, the fraternal director and producer team behind art-house hits such as The Big Lebowski and Fargo and masters of quirky and ultra-stylish genre subversion, would dare nick the plot line of Homer's Odyssey for a comic picaresque saga about three cons on the run in 1930s Mississippi. Our wandering hero in this case is one Ulysses Everett McGill, a slick-tongued wise guy with a thing about hair pomade (George Clooney, blithely sending up his own dapper image) who talks his chain-gang buddies (Coen-movie regular John Turturro and newcomer Tim Blake Nelson) into lighting out after some buried loot he claims to know of. En route they come up against a prophetic blind man on a railroad truck, a burly, one-eyed baddie (the ever-magnificent John Goodman), a trio of sexy singing ladies, a blues guitarist who's sold his soul to the devil, a brace of crooked politicos on the stump, a manic-depressive bank robber, and--well, you get the idea. Into this, their most relaxed film yet, the Coens have tossed a beguiling ragbag of inconsequential situations, a wealth of looping, left-field dialogue, and a whole stash of gags both verbal and visual. O Brother (the title's lifted from Preston Sturges's classic 1941 comedy Sullivan's Travels) is furthermore graced with glowing, burnished photography from Roger Deakins and a masterly soundtrack from T-Bone Burnett that pays loving homage to American '30s folk styles--blues, gospel, bluegrass, jazz, and more. And just to prove that the brothers haven't lost their knack for bad-taste humor, we get a Ku Klux Klan rally choreographed like a cross between a Nuremberg rally and a Busby Berkeley musical. --Philip Kemp

O Brother... has one of the best sound tracks ever, if you like blue grass music. It's sound track is a classic. Not only that but the story line is a great one too. It's funny and entertaining. I highly recommend it!

I have viewed Oh Brother Where Art Thou several times. It is very funny, has great music, and keeps me laughing for hours, if not days. All the characters are great and believable. We love this video at my house.

This is one of my favorite prison movies.
George Clooney is great in this movie very funny.
As I heard someone say this is the closet you will get
to a remake of the 3 Stooges.
Truly one of the best movies of 2001, plus a good storyline.
I rate this DVD a 9 from 1to10!!

This movie is both beautiful & hilarious. There are many weird scenes in it that make you want to watch it again, & maybe even a third time. George Clooney is superb in his role of jailbird & faulty husband. The music is so well done that I bought the soundtrack, which I very seldom do.
This movie is part of my movie collection & I am picky about what I purchase. It has to be good, & this one is.
