The Men Who Stare at Goats

My wife agreed to go to see "The Men Who Stare at Goats" because it stars George Clooney. I like Clooney because he's a capable comedic actor and because he is a local boy (Northern Kentucky son of Nick, nephew of Rosemary). Ewan Mac Gregor also puts on a fun performance as as n'er-do-well American cuckolded newspaper reporter tracking down a secret Army unit that uses paranormal military skills to defend the country. Jeff Bridges supports as the commander of the secret unit. The film tells a good story but doesn't take itself too seriously. There is a wacky twist of an ending that is satisfying. I see a series blossoming from this movie. You heard it here first. http://www.themenwhostareatgoatsmovie.com/
