Chastity loves company

Rules Don't Apply

Crit
Not really much here: standard issue innocents love story, complicated by Howard Hughes (Warren Beatty, who also wrote and directed), a complication that mostly just takes the narrative in confusing and unfulfilling directions. Alden Ehrenreich is appealing as an ambitious young man hired mostly to chauffeur members of Hughes's stable of would-be starlets on contract, and Lily Collins is irresistible as the cutest and the most virtuous of the starlets, but the single surprise in the film seems manipulated, and I just didn't much care.

Trailers
  • Fifty Shades Darker--I wonder whether I'll ever watch the first one, which I DVR'd one free HBO weekend?
