I liked O'Brother- I thought it was hilarious.

I can see how it might loosely be based on The Odyssey though: The long journey home, the wife's suitor. That's really it though.

One of my favorite movies. Great dialogue and screenplay.


Thanks for the help goat.

Not entirely sure. It's been awhile since I read The Odyssey. Probably 13 years or so. Those are the things I can think of off the top of my head though.
