Is CHLOE a "risible" movie? Four critics have their say.

I had a really good time watching Chloe at the Westfield Mall yesterday. Here are four of the countless things I enjoyed about the movie:

• A gynecologist (Julianne Moore) hires a lady of the night (Amanda Seyfried) to aggressively flirt with her musicologist husband (Liam Neeson).
  
  
• Will Neeson lunge at the dangled bait? (If he does, he sux!!!)
  
  
• Julianne Moore gives Liam Neeson a bottle of Laphroaig ("The World's most richly flavoured Scotch whisky") for his birthday, even though (or maybe because?) she suspects him of long-term serial infidelity.
  
  
• Liam Neeson's home-office library includes a hardcover book by Rush Limbaugh.

Is the movie "risible"? Here's what four critics have said:

• "'Chloe' [is] the risible new marital drama-thriller from Canadian director Atom Egoyan ('The Sweet Hereafter')." —Leah Rozen
  
  
• "[I]t's all too soigné to be truly risible..." —J. Hoberman
  
  
• "Even the throbbing score, by Mychael Danna, sounds unwittingly risible..." —Anthony Lane
  
  
• "The final third is so outrageous, so risible, as to approach high camp." —Phil Bacharach

There's a lot of super-implausible stuff in this movie—the hardcover Limbaugh book is but the tip of the iceberg—but I really liked it.
