Set in 1951 this movie by the Coen brothers takes slices of Hollywood and puts them together. The star is Josh Brolin who is a studio 'fixer' who placates actors and directors meanwhile trying to deal with gossip columnists and the kidnapping of the star of a big budget movie under production. That star is George Clooney and he is kidnapped by a group of movie people who have a beef with the system. Saying much more would reveal too much of the story but it has many of the stereotypes you would expect.
It drags in the middle but ultimately is tied together. An okay couple of hours but in my opinion not up to the Coens' best efforts.
