Thought the whole hula hoop thing was hysterical, and totally didn’t see it coming. So many obvious references to a lot of classic (His Girl Friday was on repeat in my head during every newspaper scene), but I couldn’t shake the feeling that the visuals often felt Burton-esque (the clock), to the point where I couldn’t figure out if I was missing something or just too tired to have fun with it.
My favourite part was Paul Newman eagerly chewing up every scene he was in. Been on a Newman kick recently, and this hit the spot. Also: dude was ripped! That one scene with the massage was upsetting; I’m in the prime of my life and Newman looked better than I do at twice my age. Incredible.
