Speaks Reviews: Hail, Caesar!
"Would that it were so simple."
★★★ 1/2 out of ★★★★
Even though the Coen Brothers' long-awaited Hail, Caesar! makes a beautiful mess it can't quite clean up in the end, I have to praise it as one of the best full-on comedies of their career. The reason is simple: it is funny. And it's not hugely funny, there are no big gut-busters (well, maybe one, which involves Channing Tatum, a small dog, and a submarine). But it is consistent in its funniness. That is its crowning achievement.
