Great performance by every actor

Rusty 2022-05-15 15:09:29

One of the great comedies I've seen this year
is a soft comedy, but the hidden jokes that pop up from time to time are great (especially the bickering between the male and female leads). The performances of George Clooney and Renée Zellweger can also score more than 80 points, especially the performance of Renée Zellweger. Let me ask among the many actresses in Hollywood, who else can play a female reporter with a tough appearance and a foolish heart? ?
In addition to the performance, the production of this film is also very good. The whole film uses a warm tone (like a yellowish photo) with the popular jazz music at that time to express the background of the era where the story takes place, and a lot of effort has been put into the costumes.
All of the above, give us reason to believe that George Clooney hopes to surpass his predecessors like Robert Redford and Clint Eastwood
