 | One of Tom Hanks Worst Film Ever Made In the U.S.A.
This movie waSn'T Even funny at all I mean At all.
Dnt even think about buyin this movie or rentin it cause it is the worst movie I ever Watched in my yrs.
If you're bored dont even watch it. Its that bad I tell you all.
If I can I would give it a 0 star movie.
This movie had bad acting and why the hell is Tom Hanks in this movie. Shouldn't he be in little (G) rated movies. I was suprised he was in this (r) rated movie. Tom HAnks doesn't deserve to be in (r) rated movies or this sucky movie> Tom is like a thug in this movie. He is white not Black. So I g2g and remember dnt even get this movie. Tom Hanks sucked d*** in this non classis movie. It won't even hit TV LAND. |

 | This movie was probably one of the worst movies that I have ever seen. There are too many curse words, but probably only 1/100 of how many there were in the big lebowski. Tom Hanks was good in the movie as usual but even his accent seemed forced and hard to understand at times. The movie is about a group of crooks who stay in a sweet old lady's house so that they can dig trough her basement wall to steal money from a bank. She thinks that they are musicians but she's smarter than they give her credit for.
The movie was terrible, delivered probably 0 laughs, and I don't even know why Tom Hanks would have agreed to be in this movie. Oh, and also, why is Marlon Wayans in this? Sure he's funny in Scary Movie and stuff like that but in this, I mean, he wasn't good for the part. All he did was check out girls' buts and cuss. F this, F that. Well, enough said, buy Fargo and don't watch this one EVER!!!! Don't waste your time like I did! |

 | It's not classic Coen brothers in the same way that Hudsucker or Raising Arizona were, but it is hilarious. Most of the reviewers here seem put off by either a) Hanks' accent or b) Wayans' swearing and I just have to say... get over it! You're watching character pieces and how they interact with each other is very, very funny.
Overall I'd rank the Coen Brothers movies (that I've seen) thusly... you can make up your own mind if you've seen more than a few of these...
1) Hudsucker Proxy
2) Raising Arizona
3) Barton Fink
4) O Brother Where Art Thou?
5) Ladykillers
6) Fargo
7) Miller's Crossing
8) Blood Simple
9) Big Lewbowski
(I haven't seen Intolerable Cruelty or Crimewave) |

 | Great movie. Classic Coen Brothers. Tom Hank's best performance since The Burbs. |
| Rating |   | | Date | July 05, 2005 | | Summary | Skip the "Ladykillers" | Content
 | Tom Hanks is one of my favourite actors especially after watching and appreciating some of his films like Gump,Road to Perdition and Cast Away.It's not often the man does a sub-par role.In the movie Ladykillers,he plays his role earnestly with elegance and reassurance. The movie however is disappointing.I felt all actors played their role adequately.It's just a little too mixed culture for me.The storyline is rather limited.It's like a dramatic comedy with a few laughs and lot of church. I didn't know what to expect.I heard someone say it's funny.I'm sorry cause this will go down as the one Tom Hanks film I don't recommend to anyone.
Anyhow,watch this movie only if you're as stubborn as me and must see every movie by Mr.Hanks.
