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!
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.

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
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.
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
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.
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 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.
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.
