Why is this film rated so highly? The only reason I watched it was a friend of mine who is into the same type of films as me said it was a really good film. So I watched it and actually fell asleep. I have no idea why this film is rated so highly.

Some scenes are funny but its just so slow. But this movie got me into other films by the Coen brothers like "The Man Who wasn't there" which is a hundred times better than this.
