A sorry and redundant mess
This was a movie actually that I really wanted to like, but I gave it a chance and I disliked it intensely. It isn’t completely laughter-free though, thank goodness, the business with the vultures and Charles Grodin’s bungling CIA agent have their moments, but everything else is just sorry and redundant and that is including poor Isabelle Adjani.Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman are both fine actors, but as the tone-deaf songwriters, they can’t do anything with their characters or dialogue and their chemistry together is oddball and not in a good way. For me, there wasn’t a single likable character, the direction was sluggish, the film feels overlong and dull in the pace and the story is unfocused and never comes alive.
I didn’t think much of the production values and music either. The production values are okay but did little for me, while the music is forgettable. But the worst offender is the script which is just the epitome of crass, it isn’t just that, it is also trite and racially-insensitive.
Overall, a mess. 1/10 Bethany Cox
