Kellie

More effective for the quiet performances of Hanks and Newman. Not glamorizing this way of life simply showing the futility of it . The ending is more promising as the cycle is finally broken.

First rate. Funny but heartfelt. An oddly underrated classic despite strong reviews. The message is simple the world needs laughter.

Long and drawn out and boring. Hopelessly outdated. Hard to believe it won best picture in a year with far superior movies that still hold up and have a timeless quality. The one saving grace is the Powell/ Loy chemistry endures .
