Brother Where Art Thou? is an adaption their plots really have to be similar. It is the same story just modified to be funny.

There are some people that disagree with that.
There are many opinions about which adaptation is the best. Some say Wizard of Oz is the best adaptation because, it follows the journey clearly and doesn’t add comedy. There are also people who say Star Wars is the best because, there are elements that it has that neither of the others have. These don’t change the fact that O Brother Where Art Thou? is the best adaptation. Its plot
