High Anxiety
Submitted by Sarah D. Bunting on March 5, 2007 – 5:31 AMNo Comment
Overall, disappointingly dull. I’ve seen enough Hitchcock to get the jokes, and there were several moments I did like — the bus passing them that has the L.A. Philharmonic playing the dramatic music; “a Mr. McGuffin called”; Barry Levinson as the bellman freaking shit about the newspaper — but anything involving the actual “plot” really dragged. Maybe the target is too big for it to work? Because it felt flat and pro forma to me, and Madeline Kahn makes me tired anyway…often slow, seemed lazy, the running S&M gag didn’t work for me. Wouldn’t recommend it. (6/1/06)
