Not what I expected at all. Was hoping for a funny flick but no cigar.

the worst movie I have ever bought, great cast but not enough story!

I just couldn't not at any point force myself to watch this movie.

this was horrible, even big names couldn't save it. snooze vill.

Not an enjoyable movie. Disappointed with such a great cast.

Don't get it ! Wasn't funny! Don't waste your time or money!

Couldn't even finish watching the movie. Not worth it.

Didn't like the scrip storie lines vary bad.Dull movie.

I thought that this was supposed to be a comedy???

If you are a fan of film history, a fan of the Coens' work, a fan of comedy - a movie lover in any way, shape, or form - make a point to see this film! It is an absolute delight! Brilliant, I say! I happily purchased a copy the week it became available. It is wrought with so many magical things, I already want to see it again! I feel bad about the bad reviews from consumers that it has occasionally received. Rotten Tomatoes has it at an 84%, which is a great score. Most critics truly enjoyed the film. Maybe what critics say doesn't matter to you. That's great, I respect that. Please allow me, a film lover and regular Joe, to tell you what I think of the movie. I feel one has to understand the history of both film and America's history of the time period to fully appreciate this film. Those with negative feelings towards this movie perhaps aren't fully aware of the time period it is representing. This movie impeccably, magnificently paints that time period. And, it does so in such a fun way, with such wonderful character brought to life by some fantastic actors. I talked to some people who saw the movie once and didn't really appreciate it, but then saw it again and truly loved it. I have found that filmmakers such as the Coens make movies that demand at the very least a second viewing. They are super thoughtful filmmakers who don't make typical movies, and I have found personally that there isn't a Coen film I haven't appreciated more with multiple viewings. You pick up on things, you appreciate things, you see the subtle humor and the subtle messages. This movie is funny, even with my first viewing I laughed out loud a lot, but beyond that, it has some truly poignant themes that resonated with me personally. Themes of how to balance work and family, and what truly matters when it comes to a career - money, or a personal satisfaction in your work? Really great stuff! This movie is great. Give it a shot! And, if you already have given it a shot, give it another. It is a film that deserves more appreciation that it is getting. It really is quite brilliant.

While "Hail Caesar!" will never be among the Coen brothers' best films (O Brother Where Art Thou?, Fargo, True Grit), it is still very much a clever, hilarious film that satirizes...Hollywood! Clooney shines once again as the Coens' leading man, joined by Ralph Fiennes, Channing Tatum, ScarJo, Tilda Swinton in a fabulous dual role, Josh Brolin, and more! It's a star-studded movie about celebrities, and you just have to see it to fully enjoy it for yourself!

The reason this film is getting so much hate is because its a very different film. It pays homage to the old style of film making. All though the pacing is a bit slow at times I still enjoyed seeing all the unique things this film had to offer. I'd give it a 7/10 and a grade of a B.

This movie is weird but good - the Channing Tatum dance number is the best part - wish it didn't leave you hanging on how the premier they're constantly referencing went.

Fun homage of 50's backstage Hollywood. The story is somewhat lacking but the cast is fun. And the Blu-ray perfectly captures the beautiful set and costume design.

A goofy, delightful film that I really enjoyed. It's not for everyone, but I found this to be a nice change of pace from a lot of the movies we usually see.

This is a fun film. Not entirely serious like other Cohen films. I like the film setting as it's a Hollywood back lot type studio. The cast is great and everyone pulls their own weight. My favorite character of course is the small role played by Channing Tatum. It's fun and left me smiling. I recommend this film if you have enjoyed any Cohen picture and definitely recommend that you purchase your own copy. I myself have already seen it 3 times.

I haven't seen the film yet, but it's got a to of great actresses and actors in it. Looks great, well done (greatly shot) and very funny.

Another funny piece from the Cohens. Clooney is seriously goofy and makes comedic acting look natural and easy.

If you love old Hollywood this film is hilarious. Completely mis-marketed upon release this film is destined to be much like the Coen Bros other classic The Big Lebowski as it gains a following of appreciators over time.

Ever since O Brother, Where Art Thou I've been waiting for the Coen brothers to make a movie that I love as much. Sadly, this wasn't it either. I never got the point of this movie and it just wasn't funny to me. Wayne Knight was criminally underutilized. I guess I'll just have to stick to repeat viewings of O Brother.
