Only see this if you really like the Coen Brothers

Rating: 3/10 (8 February 2016)

(Sigh)... Despite being disappointed with several Coen Brothers movies in the past (O Brother, Where Art Thou? , Burn After Reading, etc), the high ratings of "Hail, Caesar!" convinced me to give them one more shot. Sadly it finally confirmed once and for all that I'll never enjoy their movies. Super slow pace, weird story, and insanely random scenes/cameos with some rather high profile Hollywood actors. By the halfway point I honestly just wanted it to end. The musical number with Channing Tatum was sort of entertaining I guess, the oddball character Hobie had a certain charm to him, and the 1950s setting was a nice spin... but overall this movie just didn't do it for me. Hopefully Coen Brothers fans will find this more intriguing, but steer clear if you haven't enjoyed their past films.
