You know, for kids.
Come on now! Even the movies are claiming that it's "for the children." That line doesn't get every law passed, and it doesn't make every Coen brothers movie a hit.
Sure, I like the Coen brothers. Fargo is a big favorite, as is O Brother, Where Art Thou? I liked Blood Simple, and even The Big Lebowski was good after I watched it twice. Like many people, I am anxiously awaiting No Country for Old Men.
But even with Sam Raimi's help, I just don't think this is one of their better works. Sure, the cinematography was brilliant and I loved the art deco style, but art deco is 30's, not 50's. Jennifer Jason Leigh is not "Hildy" Johnson, and there just didn't seem to be a lot of story behind all the flash of the picture.
There were a lot of interesting actors in the film: Tim Robbins, Paul Newman, Charles Durning, John Mahoney, Bruce Campbell,Steve Buscemi, and even Anna Nicole Smith. That makes it worth watching - once.
