So many historical errors, but still funny

Rating: 6/10 (20 May 2016)

So... this is set in 1977.
At one point, you see Earth, Wind and Fire singing September (which came out in 1978).
In another scene, you hear the Pina Colada song (which came out in 1979).
Ryan Gosling tells his daughter to call 911 (which Los Angeles established in 1984).
Sorry to be such a geek, but these things drive me crazy!
Other than that, it was somewhat funny. I didn't think Gosling and Crowe had enough chemistry to pull off a buddy-cop movie (if that's what they were going for).
I found the plot to be interesting enough, but the execution was lacking. They seemed to have this "who's a good person" theme running through it. But they never really developed any of the characters. It was all over the place! (much like this review! :)
One high note: Kim Basinger still looks awesome. I couldn't decide if it was from using soft filters or Botox. In the end, I went with Botox because her eyebrows never moved.
