If you want a darkly hilarious, gloriously stupid ride directed by the Coen Brothers with a stellar cast (Brad Pitt, Frances McDormand, George Clooney), then absolutely watch this tonight—it's a cult classic that gets better with repeat viewings. Skip it only if you need something heartwarming or straightforward, because this deliberately chaotic masterpiece of comedic chaos is designed to bewilder and entertain in equal measure.

Plot

When a disc containing memoirs of a former CIA analyst falls into the hands of gym employees, Linda and Chad, they see a chance to make enough money for Linda to have life-changing cosmetic surgery. Predictably, events whirl out of control for the duo, and those in their orbit.
