this film was one of the biggest surprises i ever had with a film due to it's reputation as a lesser film by the duo. all i knew going in was one line of dialog since nostalgia critic has misunderstood said line for years as one of his catchphrases but i didn't expect wonderful and creative visuals,great comedic scenes,a satire of capitalism and just a sense of wonder overall with great acting in the style of old hollywood. it's just a shame that it's legacy is just being known as one of their worst projects,some of the sets being used in joel schumacher batman/godzilla 98 and as a eminem read

the coen brothers essentially made a terry gilliam movie way better than terry gilliam does. they captured the surreal and absurdist tone, but added the missing ingredient, humor. absurdism with really heavy material is difficult to pull off straight, make it a dark comedy and it works a lot better. jennifer jason leigh gives a really strong performance and her character almost feels like it belongs in a different movie, but that dichotomy is what makes it work. watched as part of scavenger hunt 48 task #5: a post-1960 screwball comedy my list | mette's master list read

i have about half an hour left to finish this and even though it's totally fine and it looks like an art deco dream, i'm not particularly excited to finish it? i can't really explain it, maybe it's the characters, maybe i'm over the coen brothers' writing style, or maybe this is too much of a wannabe liberal dad movie. read

"Inspiration is 99% perspiration and in my case it's at least double that"
Incredibly well written comedy set in a cartoonish version of a big corporate hellhole. If there is such a thing as "post-screwball" this is probably the finest example of it, even from a filmmaker duo who have often worked with Old Hollywood sensibilities. Tim Robbins is just perfect as a big warm dufus. I was worried at first that Jennifer Jason Leigh's Hepburn voice might be a little overkill but she really nails it and in a way becomes the heart of the movie. Jim True-Frost steals a handful of scenes which is no... read

Third in my Coen triple feature. I avoided this on its initial release thinking it looked stupid. So 3 decades later I give it a full viewing in HD projector 120" screen and it's um, not good. This just isn't for me. I found myself looking at my watch a lot here. Yep it's weird whacky etc but dull as hell. It's ok though, still a fan interested in what they'll do next. read
