(2009): Steven Soderbergh's farcical take on the price-fixing scandal of the Archer Daniels Midland company and whistleblower Mark Whitacre would have been a whole lot better (and funnier) without the overbearing score by Marvin Hamlisch. (Marvin to viewers: Yes, yes, audience! This is comical! And this here! And oh yes, this, also!) Too bad: It detracts from a really compelling character study and some fine performances by virtually every cast member, including Damon, Scott Bakula, and that "Talk Soup" guy, Joe McHale.
