Good Humour

Rating: 5/10 (7 April 2016)

Hail,Caesar, a film about Hollywood in the 1950's, delivers little in the way of plot. I found the film to be humorous in an off the wall, unconventional kind of way. Although slightly weird I must admit I did find the comedy to be refreshing from the usual crude humoured films that trend in modern cinema.
The film's plot feels patchy, the back bone seemed initially to be Director Eddie Mannix who is struggling to run a tight ship on the set of his film. As the film progressed however it's plot splurged in several tangents and became about more characters then the brain can fathom.
I particularly enjoyed seeing Channing Tatum's music number, it's nice to see he isn't boxing himself into rom com roles, with the addition of a Tarantino film on his resume last year I feel like he's starting to diversify as an actor.
George Clooney was as lacklustre as ever, with all the acting capability of a dry plum. But the film as a whole was entertaining enough for me to suggest it to anyone who likes period comedy's.
I'd give the film a 6/10 for pulling off a type of comedy we perhaps don't see enough off in modern cinema.
