May not be the funniest or wackiest movie from Joel and Ethan Coen, but it is easily their most ambitious work to date.

A roller-coaster ride with a goofy fun-house spirit, it's full of clever pranks.

It's a wild, whacked-out wonder.

Teens might enjoy this offbeat Odyssey adaptation.

Everyone who has the capacity for abstract thought, raise your hands . . . and take this Coen brothers' journey.

Well up to the brothers' usual high standards.

Great dialogue, superb 'Scope camerawork from Roger Deakins, and a genuinely wondrous deus ex machina are among the delights.

Even with its mock-pretentious parallelism to The Odyssey...O Brother, Where Art Thou? refuses to take itself seriously, which is both its principal failing and its charm. [Blu-ray]

The Coens' usual arch deliberateness isn't quite as deliberate, and there's an appealing shagginess to some of the episodes and performances.

Leaves a sour taste.

After making what are still probably their two best features, the Coen brothers came up with their worst, a piece of pop nihilism.

The Coen's O Brother, Where Art Thou? is a Coen odyssey reworked as a tall tale in the folk song idiom of superstition, magic realism and religious mysticism and delivered with a mix of screwball goofiness and intellectual whimsy.
