This is a fun, funny movie that has some heart in it too. It's not the Coen Brothers' best film, or even their funniest film, but it's a great combination of both their off-beat story-telling, visuals and characters, as well as their signature senses of humour.

It also features some great locations and costumes.

The casting is also great, and features another Coen Brohers usual - fantastic supporting characters. Look for Stephen Root as the blind owner of a radio station who first discovers' the musical talent of our hero prison escapees, whose numbers seem to multiply when it comes time to negotiate payment. Also look for John Goodman as a menacing giant.

Highly recommended.

I don't hate it as much as most of the reviewers here seem to but this was not a very good show. It was just a host who pretends to con people out of stuff, and most of his cons aren't even that clever. Carrying around your old fast food restaurant cups in a bag in your trunk just to get free drink refills? That's a pretty pathetic con and super gross to think about actually doing with a gross old garbage cup. Taking receipts out of garbage bins and using them to complain you didn't get your food is just sad too, maybe that's a good con for a homeless person who is starving though. Holding tree branches in front of no parking signs and taking a picture of it to get out of a $20 parking ticket is just sad too and also again not a clever con it's just lying, plus you'd have to spend half a day in court and perjure yourself how is that worth it? The host was not likable or funny. I give it a 4 because it wasn't a total train wreck and I think it deserves a higher rating than it has now. Why does everyone always seem to vote 1 or 10?

This was a super fun movie. The music is great and the story, about female secretaries standing up to a male chauvenist pig of a boss who sees them as sex objects and takes credit for their work, is awesome. The women are incredibly funny and so is Dabney Coleman as their jerk of a boss. There's even a super fun Snow White song spoof where cartoon birds chirp and fly around as Lily Tomlin sings.
