Saw this the other night and quite enjoyed it. I seem to remember some others saying the didn't think it was so hot, but I couldn't find a stand-alone thread for the movie, so here it is.
Maybe I liked it because I saw it without any expectations. I didn't even know it was the Coen bros. until the end credits. I thought it was funny as hell. And not just NPR funny, but funny funny. And the unexpected unfunny bit at the 2/3 point - right then I should have known it was a Coen bros. movie. Perfect.
Overall, liked it. I give it a 77 on a scale of 1 to 100, 1 being best, with a mean of 60 on a bell curve.
