A Serious Man

The Coen brothers recent film---  It is a shame that "our boys" have created a syncophant factor in the Hollywood community with the success of their other films. HOWEVER, this film is a stinker beyond belief. The story is moribund; the acting is so so; humor is missing altogether; the Yiddish start is stupid and incongrous to the rest of the content; the mockery of Jewish life and leadership is distastful; the conclusion is disjointed and disconnected to any story that "the boys" may have imagined; and finally, I found NO entertainment factor in: A Serious Man.
