The Man Who Stares At Movie Screens

I just finished watching The Men Who Stare At Goats. I had high hopes, but I just knew that the movie could not live up to the source material. I do know quite a bit about the background for this movie. I happen to be a paranormal/supernatural buff. The movie tried to approach the content from a humerus side, whale remaining neutral about the validity of the subject matter. Although the truth may even be funnier than what was depicted in the movie. I still think a documentary, or some similar approach would have done the material more justice. But forget for a minute the facts in the movie, an look at it from an entertainment perspective. And even on this limited criteria the move falls short. It's just not that engaging, a rather mediocre outing.
