A Serious Man - 7 stars out of 10

A Serious Man - 7 stars out of 10

"A Serious Man" is an absolutely ridiculous movie.  It's absurd characters are incredibly entertaining and you'll never predict what will happen next.  You will split your time between laughing at Michael Stuhlbarg's terrible situation and feeling really bad as everything goes wrong for these characters.  Although it doesn't have a great plot, the random happenings of Larry Gopnik's mundane life make it so entertaining that I'd gladly watch this movie several times.  The music is enjoyable as an intriguingly beautiful harp/piano  theme presents itself several times, as well as Jefferson Airplane's "Somebody To Love."  If you like the Coen brothers, you'll enjoy this film.  Every character has his quirks and you'll love the opportunity to get to know them.
