One Paragraph Review: Burn After Reading

In Burn After Reading, people with a variety of social defects and emotional disturbances make insane decisions and generally act unbelievably. Whereas this sounds like just another inane episode of The Hills, the Coehn brothers do here what they did so well with The Big Lebowski, and that is show you all manners of absurdism in a downright hilarious fashion. Everything about this movie is absurd: the individual characters, their decisions and actions, the flow of events within the movie, the random little shit (like that hilarious contraption) and even who lives and who dies - and it's all fucking hilarious. The acting is also superb across the board. Finally, this movie has the funniest, best final scene of a movie I've ever seen - I left the theater with my face hurting and tears in my eyes. Most people won't like it, but those who do will probably love it.
