No, it’s not as good, but it’s not bad. Funny & about what you expect. Dares to be okay. Did it really require 3 years to come up with this?
Movies
#140RVW: National Treasure: Book of Secrets (2007)
Sillier than the first one, which is saying something. Seemed too much when originally came out, but liked on second viewing with daughter.
#140RVW: The Hudsucker Proxy (1994)
Slow sweep over snowy models; one of best pre-title openings ever. Unfairly regarded as cold, stylish misfire, you either love or are wrong.
#140RVW: The Answer Man (2009)
Mostly enjoyable mashup of cranky novelist movies plays it safe, which is too bad, because it has good bones. Probably had good early draft.
#140RVW: Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)
So much fun. Cagney has a blast chewing scenery in old Hollywood classic. Snappy dialogue up to standards of Curtiz’s best – high praise…
