Rules Don't Apply [Blu-ray/DVD] [2016]

This sleeper story slid under the radar at the theaters. Glad I was able to find it on Blu-ray. If you are into the lore surrounding Howard Hughes it is enjoyable. The effect on the lives surrounding the mythical Hughes actually makes for a more interesting tale than the life of the man himself.

I don’t know what I was expecting but this movie was as not one of my favorites! It was worth seeing but was kind of slow in spots!

Good to see Warren Beatty back again, but he's not really the star, the young people, particularly Lily Collins, steal the show. And steal it they do.

Always interesting to see more detail about Howard Hughes.

The movie is one that really got lost in the shuffle of many films late in the year that included Oscar darling La La Land amongst others. Warren Beatty's long awaited return to the big screen after 15 years as well as being co-writer, producer and director on the film. The film is about the legendary billionare Howard Hughes and his major influences and his rather eccentric personality that affected everyone around him including his well meaning chauffer (Alden Erenreich of the upcoming Han Solo Star Wars spinoff), a country bumpkin (Lily Collins) who's just arrived in Hollywood and his assistants (Matthew Broderick and Candice Bergen). The film is well cast and joyous to look at but also feels a little heavy and lacking on humor at times. Beatty definitely still has the chops as a director, but it is easy to see why the movie really didn't do anything on the big screen. Definitely recommended as an engaging curiosity with a solid cast and for those who like films of the golden age era of Hollywood.

Not bad worth the 5$. Family enjoyed it audio and video good.

I thought this was a great movie with great acting. I would recommend it to anyone to watch. I thought the story was great also.
