The story progresses once a journalist by the name of Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) finds his outbreaking story through the encounter of Lyn Cassidy (George Clooney). Lyn claimed to be part of a US Military Unit who train their soldiers to use psychic powers in order to defeat their enemies. The illogical story becomes real for Bob Wilton once he becomes disconnected from the journalism and dragged into the real-life situation.
Agree with me or not, "The Men Who Stare at Goats" might be one of the most dissapointing films of 2009. Sure, the movie has it's fair share of laughs but it's nothing we didn't see in the trailer. Although the comedy is entertaining and the story is one that you don't see everyday, the two don't tie together as well as you would think.
I don't think the cast is to blame for this film, however, because they did their part in delivering the comedy to the viewers. The screenwriting for the movie could have been more tight in connecting the dragging story with the comedy.
