Hot Air

That the Coogan character's searing indictment of aspects of modern American life might not go down so well with some viewers and reviewers, regardless of their political persuasion, kinda proves his point.

The story line is an ancient one, but its a good one. The acting didn't feel like acting, it became an internal of the external. Ends well, and in between throws enough salt around to get in just about every crevice.

Enjoyable movie! I watched this with low expectations after seeing the ratings but I wasn't pleasantly surprised. It is a feel good movie.

I gave this film a 7 & that's fair.

This film is a good old-fashioned, feet up, Sunday afternoon popcorn munching watch.

It's sweet.

Everyone involved does their job.

This film deserves better than its current middle of the road rating. I can only imagine it has gathered some negative ratings due to some perceiving this film as having elements that attack the American right? I dunno?

Overall, I think this is a story about human connections & how those genuine connections can have an affect.

If anything, I believe this film highlights the folly of disconnect masquerading as genuine human interaction; regardless of political stance.

The main character used to do a show in Britain were he was an old radio guy, and it was pretty darn funny. So now I'll watch anything with him in it.
