Now this movie is not exactly great, the story continues at a very, almost annoyingly slow pace. And Tom Hanks is embarrassing in the lead role. But I for one thought the movie was entertaining, and not nearly as bad as everyone seems to think.
While I don't like Tom Hanks in this movie, I think the supporting actors make this film and are wonderfully cast and hilarious. Marlon Wayans in particular continues to show in this movie how his downfall in popularity has so much to do with his awful creative choices, he's a solid actor under the right director and he serves the material well here. Also, Irma P. Hall delivers a terrific comedic performance that I think makes the film a particularly memorable one for me. She's asked to do a lot, and she does everything so well.
And with every Coen Brothers movie, the look of the movie is exceptional and terrifically understated. The use of wide angles lenses and harsh gray lighting is beautifully done in this movie.
While this movie is not exactly "great", I think it's a very entertaining movie that is funny and has wonderful performances from the supporting actors.
Also, the Coen Brothers "worst movie" is still better than the majority of Hollywood movies being made.
