Not so funny

Rating: 4/10 (13 April 2016)

A Hollywood fixer exerts a tough authority upon all those who work in the studios slapping their faces inclusive. He has also problems with two lady journalists. This is supposed to be a comedy but it is not so funny indeed. It deals with earnest things such as religion and communism. Two excellent actors like George Clooney and Ralph Fiennes are ill-spent in this movie. I went to see it because I have read some favourable reviews on a newspaper including from critics I respect but frankly I don't know what they have seen in this movie that I cannot see. Some scenes are even ludicrous. The main story is about making a film about the life of Christ. We see also there shootings of other movies such as a musical and a western. The characters are faint and unconvincing.
