No spoilers

I'm not really a fan of goof comedies where a ton of impossible shit happens.  I assumed this was one of those and never bothered to see it.  I caught it on HBO a few days ago (I've been on vacation all week) and decided to give it a look.

Man, am I glad I did.  Loved it!  It's not one of those goof comedies that are so popular these days.  It has plenty of silly and highly improbable moments, but it always stays just this side of ridiculous.

The cast is fantastic and each was perfectly cast.  The leads make the film.  My favorite is Jason Bateman.  Probably because he's pretty much playing a nearly spot-on version of myself. 

Anyway, good stuff.  It's well written, intelligent humor.  I liked it so much, I've watched it three times this week.  Ordered it already, so that I can rip the audio.

An easy 5 out of 5 briefcases.
