I agree; neither my wife nor I were impressed by this Coen Brother's film.

In fact, we were more than a little disappointed given the expectations.
Oddly, the character which worked best for us was the Brad Pitt character, because he played the clueless surfer-dude guy in a charming "Darwin Award" kind of way. Unfortunately, perceiving Pitt's character as the most interesting in this film is its fatal flaw. His death took away the only really likable character in the movie for us.
In spite of the obvious ironies and 'comedy of errors' there were very few laughs in Burn After Reading. Most of the actors didn't 'sell' their characters very well, which I've concluded wasn't so much the fault of the actors (in this instance) as the casting (some of the actors were just unbelievable in the roles as cast).
