Story: 28 -
Very loosely based on The Oddesy, this is a very crafty story indeed. Set in the '20s a man and his 2 friends escape from prison to find a treasure. Along the way they have much more adventure than they planned for. If you have never read The Odyssey, it doesn't matter. The story is ingenious enough to carry you along without knowing its based on a classic. Several events and characters are very cleverly portrayed.
Acting: 25 -
A few of the actors are over the top, but all very fun to watch. John Goodman gives the surprise of the movie, and George Clooney is quite chaming as an educated prison escapee.

I cant say enough for this category. Directed extremely well with beautiful cinematography. Very creative scene fades and vintage tinting. Worth admission just to see the creative film making...did I mention the music?
Impact: 10 -
Great show, and a fun tale that could entertain nearly anyone. An added bonus of a soundtrack that will leave you unwittingly humming a few of the tunes.

Extremely original in its adaptation. One of the most creative movies to come out in a while.
