Rotten Tomatoes |
Hail Caesar |
2 Reasons to See It |
1. You saw Johnny Be Good and thought, "Please! Give me more!" 2. Someone gives you a free copy. |
Overall |
Supposedly a snoozefest in which he has one scene. Making the movie was assuredly more fun than watching it. |
If You Like It |
You might also like Johnny Be Good (1987), Weird Science (1985), that season of SNL that Lorne Michaels wants to pretend never happened |
