The madcap nature of the story turns into a lame commentary on corporate commercialism.

The National (UAE)
It benefits from the dense but pacey screenplay by Brit playwright Peter Straughan...
Variety
4.5 stars out of 5 -- [T]hough Ronson's book and Heslov's film are hilarious, they both recognize the power of truth, and that's something to take with us out of the multiplex.
Box Office
This is one of those you-had-to-be-there comedies, where you feel the actors end up having more fun than the audience.

Maclean's Magazine
3.5 stars out of 4 -- All of the actors play without winks and spins....The movie is funny.
Chicago Sun-Times
All in all, Goats would have been groaningly familiar, even back in the 1960s.

Newsday
Rating: 3/5 --
The oddity of its subject matter can't quite find a suitable groove between weird believability and preposterous put-on.

Product Description:
Loosely adapted from a nonfiction book by Jon Ronson, Grant Heslov's directorial debut THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS begins as heartbroken reporter Bob Wilton (Ewan McGregor) heads off to imbed himself with troops as the Iraq War starts, but Wilton can't get himself into the country until he chances upon Lyn Cassady (George Clooney). It turns out Lyn spent decades as part of the New Earth Army -- a platoon of men, led by Bill Django (Jeff Bridges), who lived a new-age lifestyle in an attempt to cultivate extrasensory perception that would allow the U.S. army to win wars nonviolently. Bill now has a secret mission in Iraq, and allows Bob to come along. As the duo gets into a series of misadventures, Lyn shares with Bob the colorful history of the New Earth Army and chronicles the nefarious machinations of Larry Hooper (Kevin Spacey), whose jealousy of Lyn's remarkable skill brought an end to the group.
