yes, Sylvester Stallone has perfect comic timing. yes, this has the most impressive cast you can imagine. yes, I quote it almost constantly. 'Snaps' Provolone trying to go straight in a three room three bag farce is probably my favourite movie.

A love song to classic Hollywood: the movies, the actors, the foibles of the studio system. the movie scenes are like cameos, every performance just sparkles and both the religious leaders and the tongue twister/mirthless chuckle have me in stiches every time.

this felt very like an MCU movie; superhero characters interacting with the 'real' world, a complex mythos the film treats with respect while joking around a lot, lots of action. nice alternative to all the usual Hallmark movies.
