A not quite polished gem

Rating: 8/10 (20 January 2014)

It is hard to find much intelligent comedy today. AH manages to be just that. The story is engrossing (if not quite gripping.) There was a stimulating sexual miasma throughout the proceedings. The characters are compelling and their motivations are understandable. The film is intrinsically enjoyable-it happened a long time ago, no one suffered horribly, there were many funny lines. The performances were superior. The film could drag on, but this was handled by bringing in Jennifer Lawrence (otherwise a superfluous character) to really liven thing up.
The ending was rushed after more than two hours of meandering story.
No, not great. But very, very good. It is superior entertainment.
