Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater

Great Film overall

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

I was surprised by the financial losses in theaters when this film was first released. I suspect it will have a long life via other modes of distribution.I thoroughly enjoyed it overnight at home during a rain storm.Surprised to see Candice Bergen in a cameo kind of role with almost no lines of dialogue.The ending is somewhat predictable but Warren Beatty does an entertaining job playing the role of the supposedly crazy billionaire aviation and movie magnate.Thanks for a fine two hours, Warren.

I kind of felt deja vu. I don't remember the title, but it was similar to this from the recent time, where it revolves around a taxi driver and a woman who wanted to be an actress. In this the distinct feature was the Beatty's role. After returning from the retirement, he's in business now. Directing it, as well as in one of the prominent characters. An 80 years old and still has left lots of spark in him. It was really a great comeback, yet the film is not fully convincing. Even though an enjoyable one, particularly for the awesome performances by all.The film was about Howard Hughes, but I don't know whether it is a biopic or just inspired by. Anyway, it was in the backdrop of Hollywood film industry. The story takes place between three characters, including a driver, film director and a wanted to be an actress. Triangular romance, but not exactly a romance film. Everything was drama, on the struggles between their professions. Often the narration jumps off to Hughes other business affairs. Overall, it comes back to the original path and takes us to the conclusion.A very slow screenplay. I'm used to such kind of narration, so I did not find any hard to finish it off. But it won't be same for others, especially if you are not interested in what the film plot deals with. And it is over two hours long. It covered everything it wanted to tell us. They should have avoided them, to make the film a bit quick which would have worked in its favour. Beatty is a very conscious man. Look at the Oscars, he knew the error, but while having a doubt, his partner hurried and announced the winner. I hope he makes another film very soon and stun everybody who criticised this one.5/10

A driver and aspiring actress meet and fall in love. They both are in Hollywood for Howard Hughes.Warren is a little scary looking for Howard - a bit too old for the part. He seems more like a senile old man than an eccentric middle aged man.Lily Collins is so charmingly beautiful - she has an old Hollywood quality not seen since Audrey and Liz. Alden and her are quite okay together.The production is quite well done with beautiful old cars and sets.It's the story that isn't that compelling. The behavior of the characters is all too weird. Strange love child of Warren Beatty.Can see why this wasn't a big hit at the box office.

In the US fifties, Marla Mabry (Lily Collins) is an aspiring actress who comes to Hollywood. As a winner of a beauty pageant, she was noticed by Howard Hughes (Warren Beatty) and given a salary of $400 a week, an apartment and a promise of a screen test. Her devout Baptist mother (Annette Bening) is skeptical of the whole affair but loves her daughter and makes the trip to La La Land with her offspring. But, what surprises await! Marla is part of a growing number of ingenues who have been given the same promises yet no one has yet seen Mr. Hughes! Each beautiful starlet is also given a driver; in Marla's case it is handsome, young Frank (Alden Ehrenreich). Very shortly, these two young folks are casting eyes at each other but there are HUGE problems. First, no driver and starlet are allowed to enter into a relationship. Then, Frank is already engaged to a lady back home in Texas and that, Marla declares, prevents the two of them from ever being a couple. Another driver, Levar (Matthew Broderick) is always watching. In addition, Frank has true ambitions to encourage Mr. Hughes to let him be part of real estate investments. After a brief kissing frenzy, Marla runs from Frank's attentions. But, confused, she finally meets Mr. Hughes and gets her screen test. Will this make her a star and does the very mysterious, baffling Howard have eyes for HER? More wild adventure is just around the corner! This very worthy film has a stellar cast which delivers in every role. What a pleasure to see Collins, Ehrenreich, Broderick, Candice Bergen, Alec Baldwin, Bening, Martin Sheen, and all the rest embody their parts to perfection! Naturally, special kudos go to Beatty, not only for his terrific turn as Hughes but also for writing and directing this unique movie. Yes, it has some uneven moments, especially in the middle of the flick, but, overall, this is an amazingly intriguing film. Add on wonderful sets and fabulous costumes and this is a treat for any discerning film lover. Tired of the humdrum movies coming out of Hollywood these days? Get No Rules Apply!
