Right! So many great moments. ::: spoiler spoiler When they are in the middle of a gun fight with the hitman and Healy jumps through the window to get inside the house then March tosses him a gun and it flies right over his head and out the window. :::

So many great lines and subtle jokes throughout this.

Ooo thanks! I haven't seen this one

Right that's why I asked if anyone had any recommendations. I think it's pretty unique. Like it's basically a buddy-cop movie but it's not like any other buddy-cop movies I've seen.

Some of the comedy reminds me of Mel Brooks with the elaborate set ups, absurdist situations, and stuff. But it doesn't feel like it's copying anything.

Oh yes I agree. Hot Fuzz is pretty similar in style. Love that one too

I'm on Thunder. But I hopped on the browser to edit my post. I think it's good now. Thanks!

Thanks! Do you mean just use that banner as a line of text? Or is that like a thing that hides the text until it's selected?

I put this on the other day not really knowing what it was and I loved every second of it.

spoilerThe 1970s Los Angeles vibe was perfect. The plot was unpredictable and chaotic but it made sense from the point of view of the main characters. Ryan Gosling, Russell Crowe, and the teenage girl were all excellent together. There were so many intricately set up punchlines through out the movie. I had no idea Ryan Gosling could be so funny.

One of my favorite lines was probably when March (Gosling) was interacting with his daughters friend Janet.

Janet: "You took the Lords name in vain!"

March: "No I didn't Janet. I found it very useful actually. OK, Janet?"

Also the whole set up and pay off with the dream sequence and Healy's (Crowe) ankle gun was hilarious.

What are your thoughts on this movie? Do you recommend any more movies like this?
