When You Stare at Goats On Acid...



When I first heard the title to this movie I said, "WTH"! And this was my reaction upon seeing the movie. This movie has a phenomenal cast that includes George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, and Jeff Bridges. Each of them shine at different times in the movie. I have to say though, that Jeff was a perfectly cast for the hippie nonviolent commander of the New Earth Army, a Jedi monk warrior. With so many great actors, it's a shame that they could not all shine at the same time. The movie takes on the journey of self-discovery, showing that life could be strange, funny, and adventurous; if you choose to take that route. The movie is great at times, and disappointing at other times. This movie would have been better if had just been about the creation of the New Earth Army. It's still a good movie to see, but using LSD to see it will improve it. It gets 2 and 1/2 out of 5 garlics.
