Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

aymom First I do not understand why the movie was not rated well and receive poor reviews. The movie is simply hilarious and although I have seen it many times I still fall on the floor laughing at the Waffle house scene and the inevitable squabbling among the robbers, the donut robbery, and even the opening search for pickles. When I saw the grandmother walk down the street with an open umbrella on a hot but rain less day it reminded me of summer days in the south where parasols and umbrellas are used for dancing and portable shade. The Coen brothers are geniuses.

poeticanarquica If the Coen Bros. were musicians "Ladykillers" would be like the B-Side of "Big Lebowsky" is funny, crazy, and a great comedy with great moments and remarkable interpretations of Tom Hanks, J.K Simmons and Irma P. Hall. It's also a great spin of the 1955 movie.It's unfair some of the bad reviews that said that this is the worst comedy of the Coen brothers, I think the 1st place still be for "Hail Caesar"Ladykillers works. His characters are sometimes like cartoons floating in dark sense of humor, that is the "copyright" of this two genius.Ladykillers is also a nice tribute of the decent and honest people to the black and white America,and his soundtrack is stunning!

Python Hyena The Ladykillers (2004): Dir: Ethan Coen, Joel Coen / Cast: Tom Hanks, Irma P. Hall, Marlon Wayans, J.K. Simmons, Tzi Ma: One of the best of the Coen Brothers, which proves that even they can create a masterful remake. It is a hilarious caper about a group of thieves who charm an elderly woman as gospel musicians while using her cellar as a base for their operation to tunnel to a casino. It contains the skill of Joel and Ethan Coen whose credits include such impressive films as Blood Simple and The Big Lebowski. Their film is a remake of the 1955 classic starring Alec Guinness but thankfully the Coens use style and witty writing to pull off one of the best remakes to come. Tom Hanks leads the heist sporting a funny accent and a charm that delights Irma P. Hall who allows them to shelter there. Marlon Wayans works as a janitor inside the casino and is the inside guy. J.K. Simmons plays an explosive expert who has a medical bowel condition. Tzi Ma plays a character called the General, and Ryan Hurst plays an unintelligent football player of few words. This is a great collaboration of actors playing thieves hindered by their victim's unconditional devotion to God. It shows the consequences of crime with a peculiar reference to God in that Hall is a Christian woman who believes that the wayward direction is headed right where the thieves dump the body bags. Score: 10 / 10

SnoopyStyle It's the deep south. Eccentric professor G.H. Dorr (Tom Hanks) leads a wacky group of thieves to rob a riverboat casino. He rents a room from old lady Marva Munson (Irma P. Hall). The gang pretends to be church musicians and starts digging a tunnel from her root cellar. The group includes casino cleaning crew Gawain MacSam (Marlon Wayans), movie prop guy Garth Pancake (J.K. Simmons), donut shop owner The General (Tzi Ma) who dug tunnels in Vietnam, and bad football player Lump Hudson (Ryan Hurst). Pancake brings in his girlfriend Mountain Girl (Diane Delano). George Wallace plays Sheriff Wyner.I found the weird characters more distracting than funny. There is some slapstick comedy. It tries to be a black comedy but it stumbles into wacky territories. The story is slow like molasses and the drama has no tension. It's a lot of Coen style and mannerisms. I feel it's overwhelmed by it. There is a lot of wide ranging music and again I feel overwhelmed by it. The group is so random that they don't start off with any chemistry at all. That's what I miss the most about this movie. I get no sense of their relationship because the characters don't really have any. Also Tom Hank's southern accent doesn't appeal to me. The old black lady put me off. I couldn't find anybody to root for. The whole movie feels stuck in deliberate whimsy mode without the humanity. A lot of this just drove me nuts although I appreciate the Coen brothers are always trying to do their own thing.
