There's a lot happening in "Hail, Caesar," but it never goes anywhere. Still, it's a charming and lively ode to the classic Hollywood era.

Hail, Caesar isn't the great Coen brothers movie that I wanted, but it's a one that I can enjoy and admire in some away. This movie is both a love letter and almost an accurate look at old fashion film making. There's plenty to like here. The cinematography is excellent, the cast is superb, the humor is rich and hilarious. But the real stand out in "Hail, Caesar" was Alden Ehrenreich. This guy was brilliant and stole every scene he's in. I'm looking forward seeing him in the Han Solo spin-off. I got faith in him. I mean, he made a convincing idiot with charm that made spaghetti as a cowboy rope- this guy can do it.

This is the Coen Brother's love letter to the Golden Age of Hollywood and, if you are familiar at all with that period, you will get a lot more out of the film From Channing Tatum's surprisingly effective tap-dancing to Alden Ehrenreich's cowboy-turned-dramatic actor to Scarlett Johansson's Esther Williams sendup - the film is dripping in 50s Hollywood culture and aesthetic. While the laughter could have been better, overall I felt a lot of love coming from this project and is worth it for any fan of the era.

Strange but delightful, it feels like a slightly more accessible sequel to Barton Fink. There are many surface pleasures here, but I think it will take some time before I've peeled away all the layers and figured out what's really going on.
