Corinne F Dec 23 This is one of my favorite movies ever. It’s so underrated & I can’t fathom the lack positive reviews from critics. It has a unique style all it's own & I find it so delightful! I think it’s got a similar feel to It's a Wonderful Life & The Apartment. Now I usually respect Roger Ebert’s opinion, but he was WAY off base w/ this one (as he sometimes is). Granted, he was conflicted about it, but ultimately favored his more negative take. Just to counter what he had to say, this movie DOES have substance as well as style. It seems like he didn’t understand the tone & that it was MEANT to be satire. While there are definitely funny moments, it also channels that noir aspect that the Coen’s are known for. Nothing was done in a stylistic way just for the sake of it. Presenting it that way just makes it more interesting, fun & creative, much like the dream sequence in The Big Lebowski. I could say more, but I have limited space here. I just love this movie & it's timeless really.

Great film and so was Sandler’s but you cannot ignore the premise being identical. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jun 27 Funny in 1 hour and 51 minutes!!!!!!

See more Tristan P. @MovieBuff1027 Jun 26 The Coen Brothers have made a lot of unique and memorable movies over the years, but this one has to be their most fascinating one by far, in my opinion. “Burn After Reading”, “Intolerable Cruelty”, “The Ballad of Buster Scruggs”, “Barton Fink”, “Hail, Caesar”, “A Serious Man”, etc… are all underrated movies that they have made in their lifetime that don’t get talked about enough, but this one in particular is one that not everyone has ever heard of before or even seen before. And I think it needs more attention. This movie reminds me a lot of “Brazil” with its odd camera work and its strong production design and costumes. Even though “Brazil” takes place in the not-so-distant future and this film takes place in the late 1950s. Despite that, I still felt the influence during watching this movie. It still blows my mind that Warner Brothers actually took a risk on this film. And still to this day, it stands as the only Warner Brothers movie to be written and directed by the Coen Brothers. Tim Robbins is a very talented actor and is always very entertaining and funny when he is given the right material. And his performance in this film is just the right amount of funny and heartwarming. Jennifer Jason Leigh has always been an underrated actress, in my opinion. And she gives a pretty solid performance here, as a charismatic yet very strong wiled news reporter. All the other actors are great in this film, too. Paul Newman is a national treasure and for a good reason. And of course he deliverers a great performance as the big, mean boss of the company, and relishes every bit of it. Bruce Campbell is also really good in a very small role. Overall, this is a good movie and one that should be watched by more people and hardcore film fans. It is not a movie that will appeal to everyone, but it does need to be seen at least once. Especially if you are a Coen Brothers fan, like me. See more Read all reviews
