burn after reading

i loved parts of burn after reading. there is an absurdity about it that is rarely on film. as a comedy it was a great success. george clooney plays a sleazy guy who cruises the internet picking up girls. frances mcdormand is a rather shallow character herself, thinking that plastic surgery is the key to having a better life. i liked the parts of the plot that had to do with espionage, the espionage culture. all in all, a great film.
