Harry also has a taste for trolling the Internet for dates. That’s how he meets a gym worker named Linda Litzke, who needs money for some cosmetic surgical procedures.

Trivia
The film “Coming Up Daisy” was titled “Tell Me That Again!” in the script. The word “fuck” is uttered 60 times. Including 6 times in the first two minutes. The sound emitted by the homing scanner from Bowman’s space pod in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) is heard in the opening titles. Harry Pfarrer’s house number is 114, a nod to Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964). The Coen Brothers wrote the character Osborne Cox with John Malkovich in mind. Brad Pitt’s character was also written with the actor in mind, inspired by a commercial for which he suffered a similar haircut and dye job. read more……Movie Error

Movie Review
Though ‘Burn After Reading‘ is as much a nightmare as it is a comedy. The movie has a gripping storyline, that will keep your interest straight through out the movie. The movie definitely has a different storyline and concept. Above all I guess the main positive point about the movie is its actors. Character actors who have done impeccable performances in their roles, I mean beside others, we were not expecting Brad Pitt, in a role like this. But then there are no doubts that he has done a good job. The movie also has good comedy and some very good action sequences. Overall, it is a good movie and I think everyone should watch it, at least once.
One of the best dark comedies I have seen after ‘Arizona‘. A very gripping story and superb performances by Brad Pitt and John Malkovich. It is a typical Coen brothers movie. I enjoyed the movie, but I have a suggestion, all those who don’t like dark comedies and linear plot should not go for this one. read more…..

- One of the best dark comedies I have seen after ‘Arizona’. A very gripping story and superb performances by Brad Pitt and John Malkovich. It is a typical Coen brothers movie. I enjoyed the movie, but I have a suggestion, all those who don’t like dark comedies and linear plot should not go for this one.
- I have generally liked all Coen brothers movies. But surprisingly enough, I didn’t like this much. No doubt that the acting was really good. Brad Pitt, Malkovich and Clooney, all of them did an amazing job. But beside acting I didn’t like the storyline. I felt that it was too slow and was being dragged. I would simply like to sum up by saying that it had interesting concept and good acting, but it was poorly executed.
- It is a good movie, only if you understand the dark comedy.
- Brad Pitt was the best part of the movie. I went to see the movie because of him and he was very good in his new role. Amazing work Brad, you were too good. John Malkovich and George Clooney were also good in their roles.

In the opening scene when Oz is brought in to be fired, he first approaches the desk and before he sits down, is standing in between the desk and the chair. In the reverse shots from behind him, he is standing behind the chair, not in front of it.
In the scene where George Clooney is running, there’s a shot of him in the neighborhood with the back of his shirt drenched. When they show him inside the house shortly after, the sweat stain on his back is significantly smaller.
