Burn after Reading-a hoot!

Ok, time for another movie recommendation. I recently saw the movie "Burn after Reading"-what a hoot! The storyline and characters are a bit ridiculous in my opinion although I loved Brad Pitt. Brad Pitt plays "Chad" a personal trainer at a DC gym. Chad gets
drawn into the drama (with disastrous results) by one of his colleagues, Frances McDormand. Chad is a caricature for some of the silliest traits found in personal trainers. I thought Chad was the best part of the movie although John Malkovich is great too. If you've seen previous Coen brothers' movies, then you know their comedy can be somewhat "black". "Burn after Reading"
is in the same vein. Enjoy!
