Quirky and hilarious..reminiscent of The Big Lebowski.

Rating: 8/10 (27 August 2016)

First of all, I saw this on a whim, and truthfully I was more than pleasantly surprised. The story was reminiscent of the Cohen brothers' best work. It has all the elements of a great comedy from good one liners and incredible sarcasm, to standard physical comedy and slapstick. Ryan Gosling was at the top of his game as a cowardly dead beat yet clever PI, and Crowe shines as a charming thug. The backdrop of the 70s porn scene works so well with the movie since it gives us something even more sleazy than the main characters themselves. The dialogue is so clever at times I wondered if it wasn't being add libbed. Good luck choosing a best quote with so many to choose from.
