Just can't leave it alone. Up there with the best Wilders. A perfect film. Didn't notice before the symmetry between the hands of Danny McBride and Danielle Rose Russell (who will make you cry).
In the incredible sound / vision montage at the end there's definitely a snatch of Bowie and (I thought) Jack Nicholson from A Few Good Men and Pacino in Scent of a Woman.
Well disguised plot. And notice the tiny detail of the flag the right way up at the end. And the sky full of satellites.
And how about where she shows him her laptop with a picture of a cute dog saying "Can you imagine all of this with weapons?" (Another bit of disguised plot.)
It took $25m worldwide and cost $37m, in other words, a flop. What the fuck cost $37m??? Wasn't it marketed properly? What's going on? It did worse that Elizabethtown, which just about grossed its $54m production budget - but again - what the fuck cost $54 million???
