In comparison to Ewan McGregor’s other roles, the role of Bob Wilton in The Men Who Stare At Goats¸ was just not up to par. The role of Wilton is compared to other characters such as the Camerlengo in Angels & Demons, Tom Lincoln in The Island, Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars, Christian in Moulin Rouge!, and so on. Bob Wilton was too much of an everyday man for someone like Ewan McGregor to portray. Although thrown into a spiral of events and adventure, the movie was truly about the George Clooney’s character, Lyn Cassady.
Sure, there were times I laughed in the theater. How could you not with a cast including Jeff Bridges, Kevin Spacey and Nick Offerman? It could have been funnier. It could have been more dramatic. The Men Who Stare At Goats was a mediocre film about how your beliefs and faith can have more of an impact on your life and than even you would imagine – regardless of how others feel. All in all, this movie did nothing for me except make me want a small fuzzy goat of my own.
