The Informant!

[ElJuski]

Oh, come now. None of you have seen this? It's an excellent movie, shot about half an hour away from where I go to school (Oh Decatur <3. The yokels at the movie last night whooped and hollered when they heard Taylorville, which is also really close by).

The movie is so fantastically absurd. It's based on a true story, but the story itself is so crazy that I'm glad Soderbergh went the way he did--there's goofy music throughout, kazoos and all, and Damon puts in a funny-as-hell performance. I also loved Scott Bakula and McHale as the affable, well-meaning FBI guys. It's such an absurd, sordid little tale. And just a stone's throw away from good ol' Charleston. Life is funny.

No one listens to poor Charlie.

to be fair, its buried in a multipage last movie seen thread, not prominent in its own like this

I know. I just thought it was funny since you did the same thing.

 

[Charlie Don't Surf]

It was pretty awesome and REALLY funny.

Bumping this thread because this is a great movie that everyone should see. It features what is probably Matt Damon's best performance to date and has among the greatest uses of voice-over that I've ever seen.
