I'm surprised at the amount of negativity this movie is receiving. I found a lot to like about it. Perhaps people just have enormous expectations when it comes to anything with the Coen name attached to it. Was it a perfect film? No. Was it completely polished? No. Was it a lot of fun? Yes.
The film knows how to make a scene interesting. There are very few boring scenes in this movie. Even when it's just two characters talking or the movie just needs to get some information out there to advance the plot, it finds a creative way to make the scene unique and keep the audience focused.
In a world where films are rarely funny anymore, this one got some good laughs out of me along the way. There are some great characters in this movie that make for a lot of very humorous moments.
The problem with the film probably comes in terms of the plot. It comes together at the end in an interesting way, but for a long time you don't actually know what people's motives are, and so it can be a little hard to stay invested in that aspect of the film. Otherwise though, I had a really good time with 'Drive-Away Dolls'. This was a fun one. 7/10.
