Logan Lucky

The humor and hijinks may not be for everyone -- say, if you're irritated when people laugh at all the wrong places, or are Rex Reed -- but as the escapist flip side to "Hell or High Water" (which I happened to see the other night), it's a lot of fun. Soderbergh tried something a little different for financing and prerelease promotion, which may or may not have had an impact on its less-than-impressive opening weekend. Here's hoping it makes up some ground by word of mouth.

we liked it a lot. Fun movie. Channing Tatum is such a likeable guy. Elvis' granddaughter has some real talent. Whole cast was very good.

Looking forward to seeing it this weekend.

Rex Reed is still alive?

I LOVE that review. I still want to see the movie but the review is a riot. 

I defy anyone to not be irritated if someone else laughs in ALL the wrong places.

Had a hunch it'd be worth linking to.

My percentage must've been pretty high during "Logan Lucky," judging by the general lack of audible accompaniment to my chortles last night.

Well, a chortle shows self-restraint and respect for the audience...

And that RR review was about as horrible written a review as I've ever seen. But fun to read.
