O Brother was one of those quirky perfect matches for me when it came out. I don’t consistently love the Coen Borthers and I don’t consider myself a fan of George Clooney, but I loved reading the Odyssey in college and still own the book. (I have a more historically accurate version of the work starring Armand Assante too.) I also happen to be very fond of that musical era. It was either going to be a perfect match or something I was going to walk away from wishing I had that 2 hours back. If you haven’t seen it I suggest that you do.
