Highlights:
- A remake of a yesteryear film but I'm sure the Coens have tweaked it , for there are quite a lot of the brothers' touches all through the film - all enjoyable touches.
- Tom Hanks, as the talkative soft-spoken professor lights up the show & his scenes with the unit & the landlady are superb.
- The 'nigga-IBS guy' combination is a laugh riot & their exchanges bring the roof down.
- The Coens seem to be masters of eccentric comedy & the dialogues here & the final scenes are proof enough to elucidate just that.
