Weird Light Fun

Rating: 7/10 (6 January 2020)

After seeing Uncut Gems the previous night, my wife and I needed something a little more fun. This is a visual pleasure but a light light script.
If you like a little weird, You are going to enjoy Toni Collette in this film, particularly her interaction with JL Curtis.
JL Curtis would have stolen the film if she were given the same screen time as Daniel Craig - She's just got the right role for her to be endlessly enjoyable.
I also really enjoyed the shady grandchild role of Hugh or "Ransom" that Chris Evans offers as well as the patriarch played by Chris Plummer, Amanda's Dad.
Many many scenes are filled with campy light fun and enjoyable acting. But it did feel as if a producer thought the film was running long, so the writers were directed to have Daniel Craig talk out the conclusion to the mystery - like someone trying to cram in words to the end of a thank you note.
From this film, my wife and I wanted just a little more for the evening. We immediately then set out to see Eastwood's Richard Jewell. As our evening closed, it was difficult to remember a single scene of Knives Out after having Eastwood's fully engaging film take hold of your short-term memory.
