I saw it too the other day - a first for me to see a film before it
gets discussed to death on the NG. The most lasting impression is of
truly wonderful music, well integrated into the story. Can't wait to
get the soundtrack!

Thanks for not spoiling it for me...I'm trying to remain "spoiler free" until I
see it. Although...it's getting harder and harder. LOL!

I don't know if I'd call it a musical exactly (there's no singing and
dancing that isn't explained by the plot), but yes, he does sing (or at
least his character does).
I was fortunate enough to be in London this past weekend and you best
believe I was in the theater the second day I was there. A damn fine
movie, though it was a bit strange watching it with a British audience.
It felt like a few of the colloquial southern US moments were lost on
them.

No, he lip-synched. Dan Tyminski did the singing.

Haven't seen it. From what I've heard...this is a good movie. :-)

Well, this American saw "O Brother Where Art Thou?" in September, so
don't feel quite so superior. :-)
I seem to require a second viewing of the Coens' films to appreciate
them (or digest them), and this one is no exception. I really dug
"The Big Lebowski" after a second viewing, and I think I will think
the same of "Brother" after I see it again.
But to me, "Brother" was a little more dry than most of their
recent films. All of the acting is quite good, including George
Clooney's performance. John Turturro is awesome. The film is sort of
a road movie, based somewhat on Homer's "The Odyssey", with three
escaped prisoners in the 1930's deep south (Louisiana?) searching for
some hidden loot. Along the way the convicts run into all sorts of
characters and we learn a little about their pasts.
The film is peppered with musical numbers though it's not really a
musical; opportunities for songs pop up rather than the characters
singing through scenes.
The comedy is a little dry and sometimes subtle. There are a couple
of funny running jokes, such as Clooney's character's preference for a
certain type of chewing tobacco. But the film still has a lot of the
Coens' usual touches, and as usual it feels like a movie that no one
else in their right minds could ever have conceived of. It's already
got a place on my "best of 2000" list.

Er, that's hair pomade. You can tell by the way he smears it in his
hair, which one doesn't normally do with tobacco.

I'm intrigued. What moments do you think would have been too collquial for
foreign audiences?

I actually should have specified it as bits of dialog. I can't bring any
to mind right at the moment, I just recall there being a few puzzled
silences around me after some really funny lines. Overall, though, it
felt like the audience reaction was good.
