Hot Air

That the Coogan character's searing indictment of aspects of modern American life might not go down so well with some viewers and reviewers, regardless of their political persuasion, kinda proves his point.

The main character used to do a show in Britain were he was an old radio guy, and it was pretty darn funny. So now I'll watch anything with him in it.

Enjoyable movie! I watched this with low expectations after seeing the ratings but I wasn't pleasantly surprised. It is a feel good movie.

This movie is great. A lot of the reviews so far don't agree with Lionel's views so they give a low rating. If you watch a movie with killing in it do you give it a low rating because you don't agree with killing? No it is a feelgood movie about a radio host who hasn't moved with the times but is strongly influenced by his 16 year old niece he had never met. Recommended.

I gave this film a 7 & that's fair.

This film is a good old-fashioned, feet up, Sunday afternoon popcorn munching watch.

It's sweet.

Everyone involved does their job.

This film deserves better than its current middle of the road rating. I can only imagine it has gathered some negative ratings due to some perceiving this film as having elements that attack the American right? I dunno?

Overall, I think this is a story about human connections & how those genuine connections can have an affect.

If anything, I believe this film highlights the folly of disconnect masquerading as genuine human interaction; regardless of political stance.
