Did anyone end up seeing "Hail, Caesar"?

[MADem]

5. I enjoyed it (just saw it today--first movie in a theater in a long while).

I laughed my ass off.

I think you have to a) Be of a certain age and b) Have an interest in "Old Hollywood" and old movies of the post-WW2 through the advent of television age in order to enjoy the film fully.

I thought Clooney was superb, and Scarlett Johansson as the Esther Williams (and Loretta Young, given the adoption element raised) character was hilarious. That VOICE!

And I was laughing so hard at that dance number with the sailors in the bar that I had a hard time not becoming a public disturbance! NO DAMES!!!



When this hits the premium channels I will watch it again--maybe a few times. It was very rich in "inside" jokes, the sets were brilliant, and the wardrobe top notch, too.
