Reviews

harrisoncrutcher The room is bad, but at least I can laugh at that. This movie has some great actors which got me to want to see it, but man it does not deserve the 6/10 that it has I think. I actually rate this lower than the room because no parts I could laugh at and it was so slow and nothing saved it for me. I felt like I was in the movie theater watching this for 3 hours instead of almost 2. I remember very little from this movie because I tried to block it from my memory so hard.

thomasjay-52277 A basic concept executed perfectly by talented director's the Coen's imagine a brilliant action packed world in 'Hail, Caesar!' Feeling constantly shifting and lively this allows the brothers to flex their style and show the brilliance the two are capable of with ease its brilliant. Conspiracies, controversies, dance numbers and difficulty this film is brilliant

Michael Ledo The film takes place circa 1951 and centers on Eddie Mannix (Josh Brolin) a film producer for Capitol Films. He is faced with a number of issues which he must solve while trying to give up smoking. His main headache is Baird Whitlock (George Clooney) the star of his epic film "Hail Caesar." He has been kidnapped and ransomed by a communist cell during film production. Meanwhile he he forced to miscast cowboy star Hobie Doyle (Alden Ehrenreich) who can't act in a societal comedy/drama.The feature spoofs the gloss and crap that came from that era as films had a monopoly on entertainment. We see a Carmen Miranda type (Veronica Osorio), Channing Tatum dancing like Gene Kelly in "Anchors Away"; Scarlett Johansson as Esther Williams in "Million Dollar Mermaid" and George Clooney plays a Richard Burton type in "The Robe." Hobie Doyle was a generic singing cowboy with a "Gabby Hayes" sidekick.The Coen film holds some enjoyment for those familiar with the era. There were some good exchanges such as the theological debate and Jonah Hill taking about being a professional person-hood. It comically shows the Hollywood 10 black listed doing unorthodox things. The main problem with this feature is that it is a Coen Brothers film, so the bar has been set Raising Arizona high. If this was a new director/writer they would be hailed as genius.Guide: No F-words, sex, or nudity.

moonspinner55 Production head at fictional Capitol Pictures in 1950s Hollywood is forced to pay ransom on the star of his latest Roman Sandals epic after the perplexed actor is drugged and abducted by a Communist organization; meanwhile, production continues on a sailor musical, a water ballet (with a pregnant, unmarried starlet) and a black-and-white romance featuring the studio's number-one cowboy star out of his element. Written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen, "Hail, Caesar!" gives off the impression of film school students running rampant with a huge bankroll. It's a well-produced, fast-paced comedy, but one that offers little more than select episodes reproduced from the movie-memories of two brothers who have watched a lot of TV, attended a lot of film retrospectives, who have the look and flip talk of the '50s classics down pat, but who possess such a dry sense of humor that they may be the only two laughing. Scarlett Johansson has a great bit in a mermaid's tail, Tilda Swinton is spot-on playing twin sister reporters who write competing entertainment columns, and Channing Tatum does a sweet Gene Kelly-like dance routine. Unfortunately, much of the "plot" concerns James Brolin and George Clooney, neither of whom finds their comic groove here. *1/2 from ****
