CGiii Comment

Love 'em or loathe 'em, the Coen brothers always deliver a quality product. Hail, Caesar! oozes quality, it would be hard not to...with this litany of Hollywood A-listers...

But...does it cut-the-mustard?

The answer is an indefatigable yes...and, a deflating no.

Some scenes work, some don't. It's all very episodic...and, as a whole, it doesn't come together.

Definitely camp, there's a whiff of homosexuality (it's Hollywood, darlings!) and the gayest sailor-scene ever committed to film.

Definitely entertaining - with some heady highs and frequent lows...usually involving Channing Tatum.
