    • Trivia
      For his role as Hobie Doyle, Alden Ehrenreich learned horseback riding, rope tricks, twirling guns, and playing the guitar. He has stated twirling the spaghetti, mimicking the lasso, was the hardest part of his role.
    • Goofs
      When Mannix is viewing the rushes (or dailies), they are being shown in color. Rushes would have been printed on inexpensive black-and-white stock as they were used only for cursory approval purposes.
    • Quotes

      Hobie Doyle: Would that it were so simple?

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the closing credits there is a disclaimer that reads "This motion picture contains no visual depiction of the godhead."

    Not one of the Coens' better films
    Caught this at a screening the other night, and wasn't very impressed. The laughs are infrequent, and it's downright boring in stretches. It does have its moments, though: My favorite was Brolin trying to get reassurance from an array of religious leaders that his new biblical epic won't offend anyone. And Ehrenreich, who I'd never heard of, was great as the clueless but sincere rodeo expert who has somehow fallen into serious act-ting... much to Ralph Fiennes' chagrin. Who knew a line like "if only it were so simple?" could generate such hilarity? Such moments are few and far between, though.

    Overall, this is a C+ flick - I think it's getting over-rated by critics just cuz of the Coens' name. It's one of their weaker efforts.
