Shortcuts - Hit & Run Part 3

Aaaand, one more Shortcut, courtesy of guest host, Jesse! Wow, three for three! That's a new record for us, right?

Hit & Run

Hit & Run did neither for me. It never hit me with good entertainment or ran with any substantial jokes or good dialogue. Dax's driving portion was just overkill; too much burning tires and hot rod'ing. Save for the one scene that introduced Bradley Cooper's character. Other than that, there wasn't much there. A few chuckles at the end but nothing to write home about.

Shortcuts - Hit & Run Part 2

Bonus Shortcut! Jonathan chimes in with his own mini-review of this weeks featured film.

Hit & Run

When we saw the trailer for Hit and Run we saw the perfect situation for an explosion of comedy and mayhem. What we got was much more...mediocre. While all the actors play their parts well (very well, in fact) many of the greats are grossly underused and hilarious character traits are introduced and then left unexplored. Bradley Cooper as a hippie and a murderous bank robber stands out as the best example. Chances to make the comedy really cut deep were missed (by a long shot) and brilliant setups had less than satisfying results. Somewhat funny, mostly disappointing.

Shortcuts - Hit & Run

And now, Road To The Movies is proud to present Shortcuts: mini-reviews of 100 words or less to whet your appetite for the full-meal-deal of a review we'll be posting on Wednesday.

Hit & Run

I don't have a problem with "cute," so let's just get that clear right here and now. "Cute" is fine, just don't expect me to start running off at the mouth about how great it is. If I were out on a first date (I speak hypothetically, as I've been happily married for 15 years - sorry ladies) "cute" is just what I'd be looking for, because "cute" is safe. I'm not looking for safety when I go to the theater on my own. I want excitement! Excitement demands danger, and "cute" just isn't dangerous. Hit & Run is very "cute." Sorry.
