Negative Positive
Title: A False Bill of Goods
Review: Don't buy this movie. Stop, stop stop stop. Don't try to justify the low price in your head as qualifying it for a purchase. This is a Blu-ray title where the transfer wasn't done well at all. The video quality drops noticably multiple times. The story isn't really a comedy, as the advertisements try to sell it. This is an occassionally interesting peek into the attitudes and mindsets of Hollywood towards Cold War era espionage, and as such it's amazing to see how much the writer and director try to sugar over the obvious danger and tension of the times. The acting was okay, but the script and everything else struck me as lame. There's no passion to this movie. I don't plan on watching it again anytime soon. Like the misguided Hollywood mindset of that era, I'd prefer to let this movie become a thing of the past. Once again, it's technically flawed and thematically underwhelming. Don't buy this.
