sorry for the stone

If it's hard to find a good realist film these days (it's all swarming with magic),
then it's even harder to find a good comedy film. Thinking of a "Tiger's Mouth Escape" has made me happy for many years!

Therefore, in this sense, "Two Smoking Guns" is very precious.
I have heard about it for a long time, but I finally saw it recently, and it lives up to its reputation.

The pictures and music are of strong British color, much fresher than Hollywood.
Putting aside the domino-esque subtlety of the plot, the music alone is dazzling enough!
The director is like playing a treasure. From the very beginning, he kept throwing out all kinds of British rock along with the development of the story. The lyrics are super relevant, and he vows to be funny to the end.
And it's not anticlimactic, all the plots are explained properly, and finally the big burden is shaken, leaving a small one, so that people wipe their tears and rub their stomachs.
The British didn't laugh this time, but made everyone else laugh.

However, there is one serious regret.

"Crazy Stone": 2006
"Two Smoking Guns": 1998 It
's a shame that the plot and humor of both are so similar, the tone and soundtrack of both are so similar,
it's a shame that Smoking Gun was born so much earlier than Stone for many years.
I'm sorry for the originality of "Crazy Stone",
even though it can be said to be a tribute in its own right.
