I am a fan of the Cohen Brothers, but I will not lay laurels at the feet of a movie simply because it bears their name. Hail, Caesar! is not one of their better efforts.

Unrelated: I also wonder why they felt it necessary to hide the fact that they were making a faith-based film in the trailers.

Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole.
