Oh my, I loved Hail, Caesar!, although I can see it could be a marmite film for some. Basically a series of immaculate set pieces taking place on the movie lots of Old Hollywood, it is loosely drawn together by a paper thin and somewhat nonsensical plot, but really who cares when you have such joys as Channing Tatum tap dancing up a storm in my favourite film scene of the year so far. And Alden Ehrenreich lighting up the screen with his every move. Plus Clooney in brilliant idiot mode, and Ralph Fiennes being frankly perfect. The Coen brothers are geniuses, obviously, and while this isn't their best or most striking film, it is SO MUCH FUN I can't wait to watch it again.
