Butterworth C+ "It was amusing but could never get over its limitation -- a weak storyline."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz A "The movie has taken us for such a joyful wild goose chase that we're inclined to believe anything it tells us."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider B "O Brother, Where Art Thou? is the Being John Malkovich of the year 2000. The most remarkable thing about it is just how any sane studio executive agreed to back it."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov A "Lighthearted and amiable, it may be a cinematic trifle, but it's a trifle that has been flawlessly fashioned and polished to a brilliant sheen."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 5/5 "A rollicking collection of comic bits, Southern folklore, slapstick stunts, cinematic tributes, religious ritual, political satire, and depression era commentary."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "The filmmakers' trademark quirkiness is in evidence, but it often feels forced and the comedic elements are inconsistent."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3/4 "The Coens manage to maintain a genial, slapstick tone that coats the ridiculous plot devices and outrageous characters and makes them just slick enough to swallow."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 4/5 "Light, slight, stream-of-consciousness never looked so good to me."   ToxicUniverse.com   Jeremiah Kipp "Parts of the film are good and much of it has that quirky aura and charm that makes the Coen brothers' films so different from most everything else."   Screen It!   Jim Judy 7/10 "Another original piece set forth by the Coen bros, who continue to charm us with their unique knack for poetic dialogue, quirky characters, musical melodies and eerily authentic looks at the days of old."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 8/10 "...an old-timey, feel-good movie, which in the tradition of the screen’s best screwball comedies makes no apologies for its silliness."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "A weak offering from the Coen brothers will usually still be head and shoulders above most other films, a point proven with O Brother, Where Art Thou?."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 3/4 "Clooney muestra una faceta diferente a la que nos tiene acostumbrados, desarrollando una personalidad cómica que le puede rendir buenos frutos en el futuro"   Moviola   Jorge Avila Andrade 5/5 "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" I'm glad that I found him."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 4.5/5 "It's an odd, charming movie, not for everyone, but definitely for Coen acolytes. A great adaptation. And buy the soundtrack."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery 2/4 "I'll be darned. The Coen brothers, which many cinephiles (myself included) like to call the most exciting working American filmmakers, have just made a bad movie."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest 8/10 "A solid middle effort with charm to spare."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 8/10 "Quite a charmer."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh 7/10 "The individual episodes are entertaining."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Mark R. Leeper 3.5/4 "A dense, episodic, meandering tale that finds humor in every scene."   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 9/10 "A handsome film, joyfully feting the movie fantasies of a bygone era."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 4.5/5 "One of the best films of the year."   Goatdog's Movies   Michael W. Phillips, Jr. 4/5 "This is a lighter story than many of the Coens' previous movies, which makes it easy to forgive the parts that don't work very well."   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 4/5 "It's a joy to watch this movie as a whole."   Filmcritic.com   Pete Croatto B+ "…a meandering shaggy dog that never really goes anywhere but has a marvelous time trying."   Flipside Movie Emporium   Rob Vaux 3/4 "It is so amiable, so easy going and there is such a nice pace to it that you will find yourself under its spell in no time."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 8/10 "The high points outweigh the low ... with particular praise for the wonderful selection of period and traditional music."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 9/10 "A joyous mixture of the absurd and the sublime."   eFilmCritic.com   Scott Weinberg 5/10 "There's a fundamental problem: a complete lack of humor. It's a comedy with no laughs."   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Susan Granger 2/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito Read review   rec.arts.movies.reviews   Jonathan F.
