Title: Oh Brothers, Where Are You??
Product review: A mildly enjoyable comedy/gangster movie, "The Ladykillers" tells the story of five frustrated criminals who pretend to be musicians in order to foul an old lady and use her house as the HQ for a big steal. Despite some funny moments at parts, this movie is too uneven, predictable and flawed to truly recommend. Ok, so Tom Hanks and Irma P. Hall are good on their roles, there are a couple of black humour scenes with neat dialogue and the directing is competent, yet the overall result is still forgettable and a bit disposable. Not really a bad flick, but not a particularly convincing one either. Good to watch once as it presents some entertainment value, even if the Coen brothers have done much better in the past.Decent, yet too average to impress and surprise.
