The Ladykillers
The Ladykillers (2004), Ethan and Joel Coen:
Catching up with the Coens again. So it's by default better than their last film, because Intolerable Cruelty was lost on me. I guess I just don't like screwball enough.
What surprised me was how small this seemed. It's easily their least ambitious movie yet, which is by no means a bad thing seeing how far-reaching their earlier films are. It does feel akin to Cruelty, and while the performances aren't as good as in Cruelty, it's a smidge funnier. I guess I should get around to the original.
9/15
