Well, I've finally seen it and it is indeed all of the above and more. So good that I'd have to say the music, which was the real reason I went, turned out to be a take-away bonus, although a big one at that. The wife and I howled from the train scene on at these three dolts, their exploits and the characters they run into on their journey.

Not really a Clooney fan, I must say he's marvelous as Ulysses. And Tim Blake Nelson as Delbert even does the singing, something I hear tell they steared Clooney clear of, on Jimmie Rodgers's "In the Jailhouse Now." And Pete, John Turturro, is the edge that cuts both ways. I'm telling eveyone to see it and hear it. Consider yourselves told, ya'll!
