The Men who Stare at Goats is about a small town journalist played by Ewan McGregor who ends up depressed after his wife leaves him, while travelling to Iraq he meets a man named Lyn Cassidy played by George Clooney, a man who claims to have psychic powers.
This film was literally laugh out loud funny right from the first shot, which is of Avatar's Stephen Lang staring into space and attempting to run through a wall, a scene of many that had me howling, others having to do with the various and many Star Wars references littered throughout the film, in the end despite some saggy spots I was caught up in the film's strange story and enjoyed myself thoroughly, though I must advise that this film won't be for everyone and in order to get the film, you have to understand the joke behind it.
Although there are many technological terrors constructed by Hollywood these days, the ability to destroy a city is insignificant next to the power of the force, and the storytelling force is strong with this film, 4 out of 5.
