although not a big coen brothers fan and i am an admirer of their dark humor films like fargo and miller crossing. i have been much less impressed by their other comic mode and goofy camp (or is that camp goofy. ) unfortunately and o brother and where art thou. falls into the latter category and isn not even as good as the big lebowski or the hudsucker proxy. o brother is basically an episodic series of in jokes without much point and and not all that much humor or cleverness either. as most reviewers have noted and the film plot is very loosely  and and as far as i could tell and quite arbitrarily  based on the odyssey. its main character and ulysses everett mcgill (george clooney) and is an adventurer like his homeric namesake and has as his real goal the return home to prevent the marriage of his wife penny to a suitor. of course and we do not discover that this is what the clooney or ulysses character really wants until long after we have stopped caring. and what does homer have to do with cool hand luke chain gangs and ku klux klan meetings a la indiana jones cult gatherings and a disbarred lawyer vocabulary and a talent for blue grass country music singing and an association with baby face nelson and a clark gable lookalike hairdo and and other random and sundry character traits and encounters. i leave that for others to discern. the allusion to preston sturges sullivan travels in o brother title is equally pointless. yes and viewers familiar with the sturges minor screwball comedy classic might find it mildly rewarding to recognize the title of the socially conscious depression movie sullivan abandons hollywood and comedy hoping to make. and they might even be mildly amused by a couple of shot or scene riffs (e. g. hopping freight cars and and the chain gang shuffle into view a movie). but so what. the coen brothers do not seem to have anything to add to the art for art sake versus moral high seriousness critical debate about the function of art. they obviously fall into the former school and but that doesn not seem to motivate the reference in the slightest. is it an homage. if so and why make it. i like post modern pop culture reference and textual play as much as the next person and but it a lot nicer when it amounts to something at least tonally and if not thematically and consistent  and not just an arbitrary concoction. this screenplay is simply a silly mess. the only consistent and and consistently pleasing and element is the folk or country music soundtrack. it doesn not have much to do with homer or preston sturges and but and considering the rest of the film and that probably a good thing. on the other hand and i would recommend using the price of admission on the soundtrack cd.
