The Coen brothers was at the time only making comedys for example The Big Lebowski and O Brother, Where Art Thou. As i said in the review of Big Lebowski their directing wasn´t as good as usual, in this movie it´s improved. There are some realy nice looking shots. The script is well written and all the actors makes good performances. I enjoyed this movie more than Big Lebowski. It´s a funny drama that anyone should check out.

sort of like a sequel to raising arizona

This is a great movie with tunes that will stick in you're head, like when they sing " man of constant sorrow" into a tin can. Great cast and great acting and a fun movie.

Plot : Three escaped convicts go on a crazy adventure for a huge treasure. Story : Everett (George Clooney) , Pete (John Turturro) , and Pete (Tim Nelson) escape from their rock smashing days and journy onward toward a magnificent treasure. They encounter many odd situations and twists untill they end up in a bigger scale of importance than they ever thought they would. On their journey they encounter a hitchhiker/guitar player who says he sold his soul to the devil to learn to play his instrument , the same devil who then hunts down the main characters the rest of the movie (though very breif his scenes are). Some themes of trust and religion are thrown in there to enhance the characters further - keeping it a pretty great story to keep you watching to the end. Humor : The movie's entire plot and themes are very funny in a subtle way with some laugh out loud parts throught the movie - it never gets dark for a long period of time : and you'll probably never fear for the characters : with such a funny essence about them. Ending : One of the biggest - out of nowhere - endings . Two other main characters aren't even shown in the ending , but it's a lot more in place than others : because of it's continuing theme of the characters not ever progressing "and when they do it's by extreme luck". Visuals : Out of the Coen films i've seen so far , this is easily their visual best. Amazing cinemetography for the majority of the movie , although it's colors dominated by pretty boring dusty settings : will continually visually awe you. Sypnosis : Although it's story is a lot more straightforward than the majority of the Coen films , it still missing some big developments like many great stories : though the visuals and humorous style of it won't let you down on. (I've never read The Odyssey by the way)
