Letterboxd — Your life in film

I wanted to give this all the stars. But I've got to be rational here. I've got to be measured. I've got to take into account that nobody in this movie is reading the same script. Robert Shaw's probably still in JAWS. Maybe drunk. Probably both. Peter Boyle is playing it too straight. Beau Bridges too goofy. Avery Schreiber and Sid Haig and Geoffrey Holder have the right tone, but none of them have enough screen time to get everyone…

I know the term GREATEST MOVIE OF ALL TIME gets thrown around so often it sounds sarcastic......... so let's do the math.

-1984 U.S. Olympic gold medalist (gymnastics) Mitch Gaylord, inventor of The Gaylord Flip and The GayLord II, takes time out of his busy schedule advertising for Vidal Sassoon and Playboy to be reinvented into an action star by Sergio Martino...
-The first person Mitch demonstrates his superior athleticism on is a woman he RIGHT HOOKS. He will later…

Fant4stic... Huh.

Okay first of all, I thought it would be GREAT if I searched FF2015 and the shit wasn’t even on here. Low key I kinda was hoping it wasn’t. But it was! And I’m here. Anyway. Where to begin...

The movie is ALRIGHT.

I was expecting it to be much worse than it was. I literally haven’t seen it since like two weeks before it came out, and I was in a heavily fucking traumatized state of mind. Why? Eh, save that…

OK, let’s get this out of the way. The Trouble With Angels is obvious, cloying, formulaic, trite, clumsy, and an unabashed attempt by Columbia Pictures to muscle into Disney’s youth market by snatching up one of their major juvenile stars, Hayley Mills, when her contract expired.

Let me also make clear I’m a sappy idiot .. , I love The Trouble With Angels.. just love it.

BTW, It’s a true story; a real life recount.

A coming of age yarn…
