In the opening scene of "Burn After Reading" John Malkovich (playing OZ) is called into his boss's office at the CIA. He's told by a man named Mr. Mills that he's being fired because he has a drinking problem. Angry but feigning surprise John repeatedly remarks "A drinking problem?, you think I have a drinking problem?"
Outraged John Malkovich turns to Mr. Mills wide eyed and exclaims "@*%$ you Mills! Your a Mormon. Compared to you Everybody has a drinking problem!"
It was the funniest part of the entire movie.
Unfortunately it was sort of the only funny part of the movie.
Tilda was stunning, Clooney was a goon, and Brad totally gets shot in the face. They kill him off and there's no way you see it coming. Actually that was kinda funny.
Overall
I would skip this film if I were you.

ummm. Isn't that one rated "R" anyway. I wasn't planning on seeing it.
It is rated R. Ellie and I went to see it in a moment of weakness. We hadn't done anything non school or work related all week and we were depressed. I don't know if seeing this film helped--but we were desperate.
I am sad that was the only redeeming funny part of the movie. It looked like it had potential, but I hadn't planned on seeing it for reasons already stated.
