(Haven't seen the original) Irma P. Hall is a delight and J.K. Simmons steals every scene he's in. It has the Coens' typical charm and dark humor but unlike their more balanced comedies you can never really take it seriously, it doesn't ground itself with genuine emotion like a Lebowski/Arizona. What shines through best is the passion for gospel music.

The last hold out of unseen Coen movies hit as expected. It really is the only film in their canon that I think is bad. Along with The Terminal, 2004 was Tom Hanks' Year-of-the-Accent' and both don't fair well. The Coens do odd characters with expertise, but these aren't characters, they are caricatures. And with that level of camp comes IBS jokes, whatever Ryan Hurst is doing, and false teeth. None of it works well.

Endearingly off-kilter Coen film is one of their least substantial, but as an agreeably silly placeholder it gets the requisite chuckles; the entire cast seems to have been given permission to indulge their hammiest tendencies, which makes it a little exhausting, though Hanks' strange, uncharacteristically campy performance (almost a hyper mix of Alec Guinness and Truman Capote) is certainly worth seeing. It's strange to land on ambivalence when discussing a Coen film, but this one manages it!

The Ladykillers may anger fans of the original, and it won't be for people who can't tolerate a movie full of caricatures and not realistic people, but for my money it was a compact and funny experience, even if it its second half feels like it goes by far too quickly. It's strange and some of the subplots don't add a whole lot, but most of the film is a lot of fun and it's something I don't feel bad about recommending. This isn't a must-see movie, but it's enjoyable and well worth the time.

It's ostensibly a heist caper, but everything leading up to the heist itself is terrible and the movie feels like it doesn't really start until there's about 25 minutes left of the runtime. That last 25 minutes is good, but not enough to make up for the rest of the movie. I've always liked the super cartoony Coen films less than the rest, and this is their worst example.

I'm generally more forgiving of the lesser Coen Brothers films than other people are. Even their worst stuff, I maintain, is so much more interesting than all the other crap out there that it's at least worth a watch. We just hold them to a higher standard. The Ladykillers ventures the closest of any of their movies to that "not recommended" line, but never crosses it. It's funny and it's smart, but only kinda. Tom Hanks is actually very good though, and saves the movie from mediocrity.

This is trashy and immature, especially by Coen. Bros standards, but I still found it hilarious at times. Tom Hanks is incredible as the smooth-talking, sweetly-Southern professor. Even though his character is so odd and out of place for the time period, his performance is one that I'll never forget. Marlon Wayans is loud and boisterous, as he normally is, but the scenes that pair his obscenity-laced outbursts with Hanks' calm and well-spoken responses are classic, despite their obvious nature.

This one was hard to get through, and not deserving of the Coen Brother's reputation. It feels like someone tried to recreate their style without any knowledge of subtlety, humor or charm. Racist, awkward, and borderline unwatchable. I assume people compliment Hanks' performance just to have something nice to say about the film, but I'm sorry he's just as bad as every other aspect.

Feels like two movies shoved together awkwardly: the loquacious, circumlocutory, sporadically entertaining Southern-fried heist, and the tone-deaf, cringe-inducing, (attempted) AAVE-riddled gang-sploitation disaster of whatever Marlon Wayans was doing. Tom Hanks is not great, but he looks like PSH in Capote when juxtaposed with the nightmare of "gangsta" Wayans, who drags the movie down from...somewhere hovering above average.

Holy shit, this was a Coen Brother's film? This garbage? I was prepared to come into this review by ripping on Hanks for his inability to cherry pick only decent roles, but who can blame him if he did this shit because it was the Coen brothers. Wow. I almost want to watch this again to see if there wasn't some subtlety that I missed the first time around that makes this halfway decent.

One of the only missteps of the Coen's great career's. Very odd, even by the filmmakers standards, The Ladykillers never balances it's whimsical nature with any form of reality like the Coen's have been so great at doing. The casting is also just all wrong. A few funny moments aside, this is a rather dull and surprisingly lifeless movie.

Not as bad as the world has led you to believe. About half of it is tone-deaf caricature and stale black comedy both of which fall flat, but the other half is bizarre, funny and consistently engaging. I particularly like the last 20 minutes, which are tragically hilarious. Tom Hanks' super-Southern-gentleman routine is never not fascinating.

Feels like an attempt to recapture the magic that made so many of the lines in The Big Lebowski popular, but here it just falls completely flat. The cast do well, but it's the material that's the problem - I don't even know what happened here. It's a total demerit on an otherwise respectable filmography. It's boring, with an odd fixation on some aspects of black culture which just seem really out-dated and embarrassing.

I think I should have learned by now that listening to critics is a terrible waste of time I could be spending watching all the great movies they hate. I put this one off for a long time because many considered it to be crap. The Critics are dead wrong. I loved this movie. I think its my favorite Tom Hanks role ever. The whole movie just works on such a cerebral note that I was smiling throughout. So much good in the movie, but what solidifies it all is Tom Hanks. Thank you Joel and Ethan Coen.

Given the nature of the original film - full of black humour and eccentric characters - you'd have thought it would be a good choice for a Coen Brothers remake, but it just doesn't work. Not particularly funny, with none of the characters particularly likeable. The Marlon Wayans character is especially awful and adds nothing but an out-of-place vulgarity. The gospel music is nice, if you're into that sort of thing.

The film has some great scenes and witty dialogue, but most of it is uneven and lacks cohesion. It's a failure in terms of a Coen Brothers picture, but it's still better than most comedy films being made today. At least they smartened up and have since only made excellent films. This one is forgettable, but it's a road you have to take when trying to watch all the films the Coen Brothers have made.

Scary. Like in, am I gonna die because this film is so bad-scary. It's a freak show, both in terms of acting, characters (how bad a script can you possibly write?) and stupid action. YES, Tom Hanks manages to pull off speaking in tounges, but who is he? Has he got charm? No. Has he got intelligence? No. Is he fun? Never was, never will be. Thing is, none of these characters are interesting. None. Full stop. Some striking images on the bridge and that's it. Enough wasted breath..

Academic blowhard Colonel Sanders: The movie. The Ladykillers is a good movie, but that's about it. It's entirely forgettable for a reason I can't put my finger on. It's enjoyable enough, but its somehow simultaneously too generic and too quirky for its own good. Just like the Coen's previous film Intolerable Cruelty in that fact: it's not BAD, per se, but it's pretty damn forgettable.

I usually like Coen Brothers movies and can't quite clarify why I like them. This is one of the few cases where I was lukewarm, and I once again can't figure out why that's the case. The movie was funny throughout, and the acting and writing were stellar. Yet I walked away feeling a bit ambivalent about the whole thing. Regardless, I thought the cast was hilarious- Tom Hanks channeling a Poe-obsessed Colonel Sanders was great, and the other characters also had humorous quirks.

Comfortably the Coens weakest film. You get the feeling watching this movie that it was a story and a film that did not need to be re-made. The Coen's Ladykillers is inferior to the original in every way. It not awful, not by any means, but it there is no spark, and none of that usually mischievously dark Coen style running through this film. It seems the Coen's missed their usual cohorts and collaborators and paid the price.

I kind of liked Tom Hanks work in it, but it's even worser than The Hudsucker Proxy. No Coen vibe in it.

Ugh. Painful to watch. Not thrilling, not funny, just stupid, and a waste of time.

Better than expected, I was expecting to hate it but there's nothing to hate. I don't know anything about the original, and there are some nice Coen brother-esque moments, which is the least you can expect in a Coen brothers movie.

Gives the original a bad name. Just not the quality of the first.

Some critics acted like they'd been betrayed when the Coen Bros. decided to do a remake (evidently pastiches like _Miller's Crossing_ and _The Hudsucker Proxy_ are OK because it allows said critics to wax pedantic). I think this is as funny as hell

Comfortably the Coen Brothers worst film, this is not an improvement on the original and by the end you are asking yourself why it was made at all. It's 50 million times better than most films, but still. Tom Hanks is fine in it, but he's no Alec Guinness. Still, it looks good, and saw it on a plane so it is still the best movie I have ever seen whilst being airborne.
