Can 'The Men Who Stare at Goats' be George Clooney's second hit in a week?

Well, it's a little early to tell, but we have two rather good reviews to go on out of the Venice Film Festival. Variety calls it a "Superbly written loony-tunes satire played by a cast at the top of its game", while In Contention gives it three stars and says "A trim, lively comedy powered by a winning quartet of personality performances and an endearingly naff drive-time rock soundtrack, Grant Heslov’s helming debut “The Men Who Stare at Goats” doesn’t make too many demands of its audience. In return, we shouldn’t make too many demands of the film."
-Can this be another big year for Clooney?

  1. Me too, almost as much as Up In The Air. In great part due to The Dude factor. George Clooney is single-handedly saving the Fall of '09.
