The Coen Brothers Movie Watching Club met last night. We watched The Ladykillers...... and I didn't love it. I bet the original is way better, and more enjoyable. This one was too corny for me, and the thing that ruined it for me the most was the band of criminals, I found them annoying - The character Tom Hanks played was obnoxious, and his voice bothered me. All the other criminals were overly stereotyped (if that makes sense) and I found it annoying. I wonder why they did that, I felt like it was unnecessary? I guess you aren't supposed to like them, because you are supposed to be happy when they all end up killing each other in the end. I hate being annoyed by the characters in the movies I'm watching.
So, of course, because I hated all the other characters, I loved the old christian widow and was thrilled how things turned out for her.
It's a clever story, but I think it could have been done better. And that's all I want to say about it.
