THE COMEBACK TRAIL
Watchable. The comedy is set in Tinseltown so contains inside jokes like: "I've always wanted to kill a producer." or showing how putting an actor in near death situations immediately brings forward his Oscar chances. The vicious plan is predictable but fun, though not original ever since Mel Brooks shot "The Producers" about ones who wanted to flop. Whether the contentious relationship within the family or the menacing gang, the film fails to amuse. I guess it's down to inept direction since the actors are decent, the script rather good although those jokes about frail elderly people? I'm not sure. The mid-credit is a trailer of the "Killer Nuns" mentioned in the opening and is not bad.
