Not for Teens!
This movie has themes and scene that are not appropriate for kids or teens (as the current rating suggests). Some involve sex toys, extremely foul language, murder and very adult situations. NOT recommended for families at all!

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.

 
WARNING THIS MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS: Good Movie. As much as I liked Brad Pitt the scene where he got shot was the best part. But it got boring after that

Cool movie. The closet gunshot scene was hilarious... in a dark sort of way.

a waste of good actors
The Common sense review says this is a very funny movie. I guess I just didn't get it. It was the worst movie I've probably ever seen. I just kept thinking this is going somewhere . . . anywhere. It was full of actors that I really enjoy, but not in this movie. When they got to the part with the sex chair, I turned it off in disgust. OK, so I turned it back on hoping there was a funny ending where all the loose ends came together. But there really wasn't an ending at all. Like I said, I just didn't get it.

Really nothing to write home about...
There's nothing special about this movie, and although I'm never bothered by cursing, the amount in this movie is just ridiculous....

Without Brad Pitt the movie would have been a disaster. But they had him so it was okay.

Good movie with a dark, "lesson learned" outcome
I like this Cohen brothers movie because it teaches that violence and lies get you no where in the professional world.

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.

 
Nothing too great..
Im a huge fan's of dark comedy's but this just didnt do it for me. Brad Pitt s character was halirous but so much of the movie just seemed like more of a crime drama than a comedy which was kinda dissapointing to me. I was a little suprised at the violence and how graphic it was a couple times. There also a lot of swearing and sexual jokes in the movie too. Nothing too too great, i'd only watch it if you really want to

See after reading my review.
Burn After Reading proves that the Coen brothers have not lost there touch of comedy or drama they put an eerie sound to the movie and dumb funny characters to add. Very Good.

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.

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. All other characters except for the guy who gets butchered are mean & greedy liars. They say every foul word including but not limited to s***, p*ss, f***, c***, m********ker, c******ker, t*ts, and many more. The story line was horrible. Do not go see this movie. I threw up after I watched it.

 
Funny Movie
Great movie from the cohen brothers. I dont think i laughed that hard n the scene where osbourne and chad are in the car. Brad Pitt is hilarious and John Malkovich is dynamite.
