Should I go out and see the movie "LadyKillers"?
I'm a huge Coen brothers fan and was wondering what fellow DUers have to say about this movie. Any reasons why it didn't do well at the box office? Should I wait six months to rent it?

1. We liked it and recommend it
Also, if you get a chance, see the orignal with Sir Alec Guiness. Also very nice.

2. I laughed my butt off the whole time.
Plus it was nice to see Tom Hanks get back to doing the style of comedy that made him famous, and give the serious stuff a break...

4. Sure
I liked it. Though I like the original "LadyKillers" with Alec Guiness and Peter Sellers even more.

5. I would rent the original, if it was up to me. I have seen it, long ago.
Alec Guiness was a genius; Tom Hanks is merely a good actor.:shrug:

6. I think it was worth the money
I think I had 3 big belly laughs...especially the cat at the end of the movie!
