Good and involving move about ... nothing

Rating: 8/10 (9 August 2016)

Greetings from Lithuania.
"Hail, Caesar!" (2016) was surprisingly very involving movie. At running time 1 h 40 min it never dragged and was surprisingly involving from start till finish. The plot is ... well that is another topic, not for this review. Basically it is about a movie business, and one star who is kidnapped, but there was much more going on. But can someone tell me what was the point of this story? I didn't get it.
Overall, "Hail, Caesar!" has many very well know faces, who has pretty much cameos or extended cameos, but you won't call them as real full performances. Everyone did their uniformly good jobs. Script was also good and involving, i did enjoy this movie which is very clearly told and sometimes funny, but it is not a mainstream comedy. Good movie overall, but probably not for everyone.
