This funny amusing, road trip through the 1930's south, is compelling viewing. What draws me to it is the music. The soundtrack to this movie won the Grammy award for 'Album of the Year' in 2002."The tale, which includes references to the epic throughout, has three escaped convicts (George Clooney, John Turturro and Tim Blake Evans) overcoming various obstacles in retrieving a load of loot Clooney has supposedly hidden. Of course, things go awry in classic, semi-bizarre Coen brothers style. There’s a meeting with a one-eyed Bible salesman (John Goodman), a chance encounter with an overly sensitive Babyface Nelson, and a flirtation with fame when the cons become hillbilly singers. Oh, and I forgot to mention encounters with the Ku Klux Klan, the excitable governor of Mississippi (a hysterical Charles Durning), three very sexy sirens, and a load of spirituality." from Pete Croatto (FilmCritic.com)
