Wasn't expecting much, but I don't remember the last time I laughed so much. If Robert Anton Wilson ever scripted a movie it might look like this. Jeff Bridges' best part since Lebowski, and George Clooney's best part ever -- plus you get Kevin Spacey (on acid, no less) as the bad guy.

I don't have any idea how to tell the plot without major spoilers. It's a comedy about an elite Army unit of New Agers with ESP who call themselves Jedi Warriors, and George Bush at his most serious makes an appearance, plus which the last half of the movie is set in Iraq. Sound funny? Well, it is! So funny that at times I couldn't stop giggling.

As entertaining as movies get. Five stars (and if I could give one for every laughing fit I had there would be eight).

And by the way, the movie has no politics of any kind. Honest. Sort of like MASH in some ways. Enjoy!
