The opening was reminiscent of the opening in Sunset Blvd, and other shots were similar to shots in North by Northwest, Vertigo, and so on.
This is where the similarities end. The above films and others from that era are very fine films. This was definitely a current, comedic film noir. What a blast this movie was! I'll need to see it at least once more to catch up on quite a number of lines I missed because of all the uproarious laughter - mine and the audience's. I won't stop at seeing it only once. When will it be in wide release?!?!? The theater I saw it in leaves a lot to be desired, and it was a VERY packed house.
This is a very fun film, perfect for men and women. There was talent all over the place . . . in the writing, the directing, and the acting. Robert Downey Jr does NOT disappoint. He's fabulous. I can't wait to see what's next from each of the fine actors, as well as from Shane! Way to GO!
