The review

Most of what people remember is the club. The rich members are the joke, and a groundskeeper is at war with a gopher. The noise is the point for a lot of viewers. Under it, the only plot that is a life belongs to a caddy who wants a college scholarship.

Keep that in the room if you put it on. The club does not improve. Nobody is asked to leave a gag unsaid. A scholarship is a door with a year on the other side, which is more than a rodent can be. Fine for a loud night with adults who already like this kind of mess. Thin if a kid is starting to think about how to get somewhere.

Is a marriage, a parent, or a child a real life here, or just a prop?

Ghostbusters

51 instead of 39

Ghostbusters is still a comedy film, and it scores 51 instead of 39. What you gain is industry: Three university men open a small company with a schedule and an actual job.

The eight

  1. 6
    Industry

    A caddy's scholarship is the only plot that is a life.

  2. 2
    Household

    No parent or child carries this; the club is the setting.

  3. 3
    Piety

    The rich are a punchline, and nobody is asked to stop.

  4. 4
    Courage

    The caddy's real risk is a future, not the war with a gopher.

  5. 3
    Republic

    A private club is the world, and the members owe it nothing shown.

  6. 4
    Temperance

    The gags keep coming, and the film does not put them down.

  7. 5
    Truth

    The scholarship is a real stake hiding under the club jokes.

  8. 4
    Stewardship

    If the caddy gets out, the club itself is not left better.

After the gopher gags, ask if the caddy's scholarship still feels like the plot.

A Streetcar Named Desire

A Streetcar Named Desire

39Leave it.

Adult, and too many men wanted to be the husband. That is reason enough to skip it.

The review

She has already lost the family estate when she shows up at her sister's in New Orleans. She still wants to be someone the world bows to. The husband is force, and the house is his. A sister is caught between them. I knew that shape, and it still sat badly.

There is sexual cruelty near the end. I will not describe it. This is not a family evening. A lot of men wanted to be that husband, and that fact sits on the film heavier than the acting. It tells the truth about force and about a gentility that cannot pay its way. It also recruited. I can grant the first and still leave it off the shelf.

Romeo and Juliet

51 instead of 39

Romeo and Juliet is still a drama film, and it scores 51 instead of 39. What you gain is republic: Two houses owe the town peace and would rather win than keep it.

The eight

  1. 4
    Industry

    The house is his by force, not by a craft the story respects.

  2. 8
    Household

    Sister, husband, and a lost estate: the broken house is the life.

  3. 2
    Piety

    Wanting a bow is not conscience, and his force does not stop.

  4. 5
    Courage

    She risks the last house that will take her, and that house is his.

  5. 2
    Republic

    No town or law steps in; the apartment answers to force.

  6. 2
    Temperance

    A lot of men left wanting his part, so the want was fed.

  7. 6
    Truth

    The wish to be bowed to comes due, and the bill is the house.

  8. 2
    Stewardship

    Left behind: his rooms, her ruin, and a pose men copied.

Live historically

Ask the men in the room if they envy the husband, and do not start it for anyone who says yes.

Keep going

The next title is the one nearest what this house keeps, then the measure where it is thin. Nothing here is a crowd. It does not leave this device.
