Fun Summer Movie

Rating: 9/10 (19 September 2017)

Coming from a sort-of dry summer in the likes of movies, this was a diamond in the rough. I went to this movie right after seeing the new Spider-Man and actually enjoyed Baby Driver so much more.
I am a huge fan of music and the only people who will not like this movie are the people who do not like music all too much. The whole movie is basically a music video and they show that in multiple ways by having Baby stop his crew so he could start the song at the right time or subtly having lyrics appear on the scene as he is walking.
The greatest part about this movie was that the chase scenes were not choppy and hard to watch, which is typical in a car movie. They are actually really smooth and easy to follow. Characters are lovable and there is almost nothing wrong with this movie.
ALMOST. There is one or two things that bothered me and this wouldn't be a good review if I didn't address them. #1- The Love aspect: The movie has a waitress that Baby falls for. That OK, but she falls for him way too fast and barely blinks an eye when he kills someone. Most people would not fall for somebody so hard, and that quick, that they would watch someone kill a guy and then run away with them. #2- Jamie Foxx's character sucked. He played it well but overall, the character was really overplayed and a cliché to say the best.
Still a great movie. Watch ASAP.
