I love this movie so much

A different way of telling a story

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

"Hail Caesar" was actor Anthony Michael Hall's debut as a director. With the exception of an episode of the television show "The Dead Zone", he has not directed anything since. Seeing this movie, the reason for this is pretty obvious. To be fair, he was working with a pretty low budget, which is pretty evident throughout. For example, in several scenes with two people talking, he never shows a shot of the two characters in the same shot - he just shot each actor alone, and edited both sets of footage together. But the problems of "Hail Caesar" go beyond the low budget. All of the characters in the movie are annoying and obnoxious, and the movie doesn't know whether to be a satire of the music business or a goofy comedy about a youth trying to win over the father of his girlfriend. If you are thinking of giving this movie a try because of its cast, a word of warning: Samuel L. Jackson, Robert Downey Jr., and Judd Nelson each just have a few minutes of screen time. Thumbs down for this Roman emperor!

One of the most self-indulgent, badly written and poorly acted movies I have ever seen.It has the director playing the lead role, and even singing the songs. Yeah, he can sing a little but the music is just drab (I do recognise him now that I looked him up, some good work, but boy, he should have dodged this bullet!).The storyline is boring. There was no fluency in the story, and so many plot-holes it wasn't funny.I think I would have preferred to watch a Pauly Shore movie instead of wasting my time on this. It is supposed to be a comedy, and I can only remember one humorous moment - thanks to the dog - in the whole movie. It could have been so much better, but the full potential is just not realised in this movie.Big name actors, such as Robert Downey Jr, Judd Nelsen, and Samuel L Jackson scattered through the movie with no particular purpose other than to give the movie some big names.I understand we all have different views on what is funny and what is not. I just felt compelled to write this because I thought it was terrible. Watch it for yourself and see whether you like it or not.

i loved everything about this movie. i picked it up because of AM Hall and loved the light hearted wackiness and play on words and I LOVED THE SOUNDTRACK. as a matter of fact, i have been looking to see if the soundtrack is available anywhere. i still can't find it. so i just keep watching the movie over and over. my 12 year old daughter has seen it a few time and likes it also, she tried to get her friends to watch it, but they didn't get it. it was a good lighthearted comedy, with interesting characters.anyway, we are happy to have our own DVD and hope to get the soundtrack someday! i can't think of anything else to say. if you like AM Hall this movie will entertain you.

I saw this today for the first time on tv. I thought it was funny. Anthony Michael Hall is entertaining on screen. Also, Bobbi Phillips is beautiful and a really good actress. I saw her in an action movie and WOW she was completey different. There were alot of stars that popped up in this film. I think if you watch it without trying to be too deep about it you'll have fun!
