If you mean the Coen brothers (Joel and Ethan), then I agree absolutely.

One of my favourite films of all time is 'O Brother Where Are Thou?'. I introduced it to my father-in -law who normally hates anything and everything made after about 1956. Even he loved it and now quotes parts of it all the time ("Damn, we're in a tight spot', 'I'm a Dapper Dan man!, etc..).

I've read Boomerang and, IMHO, I think it would benefit from the lighter touch of the Coen brothers as opposed to Tarantino.
