A superbly written loony-tunes satire, played by a tony cast at the top of its game.

All of the actors play without winks and spins, unless you consider Lebowskism itself a wink and spin.

George Clooney dazzles and Jeff Bridges shines in a scattershot but often hilarious military farce.
75
An often highly amusing comedy in the vein of "Catch 22" and "Dr Strangelove," this lively satire looks destined for future cult status. Great soundtrack, too.

The film is more than a little odd but it has fun with its offbeat premise and moves along breezily until it gets bogged down in the third act.
75
This jam-packed picture is too zippily scripted and edited to get stuck in message mode, yet the stellar cast achieves a rare harmonic convergence.

The writing is haphazard at times, though the situations are funny enough in themselves to sustain our interest.
75
Has a glorious good time satirizing the extravagant lengths to which the military and intelligence establishments will go if they think there's a payoff at the other end.

The go-for-broke performances help make all this paranormal activity too much fun to care.

A refreshingly unpredictable and fizzy comic fantasy. It tickles the fancy even when it strains credibility.
