Spoilers below:No, I meant atrocity in the literal sense, not hyperbole. The rabbis were buffoons, the family was nuts, the relative was brought up on sex charges and gambling. The protagonist acted like a space cadet, not a professor. And for what? Another hollywood gem that we can't get any answers from religion? It's been done to death. Thanks, but no thanks.
I've seen Burn After Reading four times already and it just keeps getting better.
