"The Paper" is certainly a screenplay that Ron Howard spent more time analyzing and making a shot list of. There are times when things at The New York Sun get so hectic that the camera doesn't know where to go, and that's probably what the true Opie of Hollywood was thinking. CONFUSE THE CAMERA. Incorporate it into your story. So many directors forget this these days. The camera IS a part of the story, and, if anything, the attention to that absoloute truth is what made me enjoy this movie.
Michael Keaton is great. He does a great job at playing off his character model, which is certainly Robert Duvall's Frank Hackett from "Network". The other performances are good as well, and it's a nice contemporary treatment to Howard Hawks' "His Girl Friday". This film will certainly open up viewers to classic screen comedies as it is certainly bent on the social satire of Frank Capra. Anyway, a fair movie to see.

Just like "Lethal Weapon" fought police force racism in the early '90s, "Rush Hour" has definately become the film to alleviate the same in the new century.
I laughed myself out of the seat and all the way home. Jackie Chan has never been faster, and Chris Tucker has never been funnier. Plus, Don Cheadle's cameo had me in stitches.
It's really the same thing as "Lethal Weapon 2", where we learn more about the characters and the traumatizing events in their lives, but we have plenty of comic relief to break that up. There's enough of a plot to make for an enjoyable movie. And I would not mind at all if there were to be a "Rush Hour 3" in the works. Which surprises me.
Anyway, the quintessential summer movie, and then some. Go see it.
