Oy! Morons is right. Idiots, fools, paranoids, adulterers, vain people, unscrupulous twits, and those with just enough information to be dangerous all cross paths in Washington, D.C., to make one of the zaniest Coen brother films ever.
A CIA employee (John Malkovich) loses his job and his stern pediatrician wife (Tilda Swinton) kicks him out of the house because she no longer needs him as she is having an affair with State Department marshall (George Clooney) whose wife (Elizabeth Marvel) is a children's book writer currently on a book tour.
Meanwhile, a gym worker (Frances McDormand) wants liposuction, lifts, tucks, and augmentations but her insurance won't pay for the surgeries so she recruits a gum-popping co-worker (Brad Pitt) to help her blackmail the former CIA employee when a CD full of information is found in the locker room. Another co-worker (Richard Jenkins) tells them this is dangerous but the woman gets a Russian diplomat (Olek Krupa) involved.
The former CIA agent's former boss (David Rasche) takes what information he's gathered to a superior (J.K. Simmons) who tries to figure out what the heck is going on with all these people.
"Report back to me when...I don't know, when it makes sense."
Written and directed by Ethan Coen and Joel Coen.
Run time: 1 hour, 36 minutes
Rated R for pervasive language, some sexual content and violence.
My personal rating: A-
"You are part of a league of morons. Oh, yes. You see you're one of the morons I've been fighting my whole life."
