Maybe I’m being a ridiculous here but there might not be a better written movie.

Interesting. I actually think it's one of the CB's least effective films. The writing certainly isn't bad but it is odd. The dialogue is great but the actual structure and thematic work is sub-par for them. It's quotable AF, to be sure. But beyond that, it's pretty hollow. The movie is kind of a big mess. I still enjoy it but I'll never understand the die-hard love and cultish dedication that movie has. It's genuinely weird to me. But, hey, if it makes you happy... and all of that.

I disagree wildly. This movie is every bit as profound as any of the Coens' best work (which it easily ranks among). It's an absurdist, existential farce, which I'd argue is what, like, 90% of their oeuvre is. And the clash between self-serious capitalists and an indifferent outsider really hit home during last night's viewing. It's a hilarious, ridiculous, ballsy, and penetratingly, deceptively intelligent film. Never underestimate the Coens.

I like the bones of it, but I think the script (and the characters) do some really dumb things.
