Preview: The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009)

Synopsis:

A comedy about the super secret psychic warrior training program employed by the U.S. military and the unwitting journalist taken along for the adventure.

• Poster: B; B

Review:

The classic "psychic" pyramid in the background re-inforces the films concepts while the goat and the man play into the title (also featured in the trailer, thus explaining the utterly bizarre title). The poster's colors are pleasing to the eye even if most of the image is uneventful.

There isn't a lot of difference between this and the first poster, at least in terms of quality. While being unique designs, they still conjure up the same images regarding goats and the men who stare at them. So titularly impactful.

• Trailer: C+

Review:

With Ewan McGregor and George Clooney, you've got the makings of a fun comedy. But, there's something intensely off-putting about the film which make it seem like it has serious potential to flop.

Oscar Prospects:

None.

Full Review Synopsis:

This outlandish, bizarre film is funny enough to keep your attention diverted.
