no goats were harmed in the making of this film

I'm sure it's not everyone's cup of tea, I thought it was great.
don't go if you're expecting logic. I would describe this movie as zany. And the greatest thing is, it's based on a true story.
My only real problem with it is Stephen Root is introduced at the beginning as a vet from this crazy army group, then in later flashbacks he doesn't appear.

I See....A Tin Mug

"The Men Who Stare At Goats" was hysterical! One of the best casts assembled brings to light one of the most fascinating true stories told in recent modern history. The government funding a program that uses psychics in the United States Defense...incredible! George Clooney is great as usual, as is Ewan McGregor. Jeff Bridges is brilliant, though I really can't stand his voice. But the best performance was by Kevin Spacey who was both sinister and hilarous! A great must-see movie!
