To me, Clooney is a one trick pony. “Oh Brother Where Art Thou” and it was the music I liked. Now he’s a self proclaimed king of the hill and corrupt as any of them.
And just think at one time he was just a youngish actor on the Facts OF Life.
That’s his best movie, and you are right: Because of the music, mostly. But it was a Cohen Brothers movie and they usually put together interesting, well-written films.
