Hail, Caesar!—Oh. My. Lanta! Perhaps I’m simply not erudite enough to like this movie. Don’t get me wrong, it had some good parts, but as I was sitting in the cinema, my wallet $30 lighter from the tickets, watching this pretty terrific cast making this movie about making movies…I found myself wanting to drift off to sleep…This. Never. Happens. My philosophy is, if I’m going to pay the cash to watch a movie in the theater, I’m going to remain alert and attentive during the entirety of the show.

I would like to plead with the movie-watching community that if you (or a loved one) wants to see this movie, for the love of all things holy and the cash you’re about to lose, please, please, please watch this at a friend’s home. You know that friend who occasionally rents movies from the Redbox. Don’t YOU rent it…let some other schmuck rent it for you so you won’t have to harbor such remorse and pain from dropping the cash equaling “dinner with your dame.” You’ll still never be able to get back the 1 hour and 46 minutes this movie figuratively steals from your life, but at least you won’t have paid to lose it!

Quick Summary:

I didn’t like it at all.
