Inherent Vice

Now I will be reviewing 2014's Inherent Vice.  It's the latest from writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson, who's previous works include Booger Knights and Steel Magnolias.  This one stars Wakeem Phoenix as Doc. He's not really a doctor, that's just his nickname.  Though he might be.  An old flame, who's young, comes back into his life to tell him about an intricate kidnapping plan on her old paramour.  Doc is a Private Eyeball and decides to go investigate this because he may still have feelings for each other when they have sex later.  A lot of characters come and go and things happen at a real pace of a movie. 

So, Should I See It, or investigate whether you should, or shouldn't see it.

After much deliberation I say, "See It".  I really like some of Anderson's previous works and really wanted to like this one.  As an audience member I zoned out a couple times which you really can't do because every line of silly dialogue is necessary.  People make a lot of funny faces in the movie too.  So if you do space out, don't worry, someone will come into frame soon enough and be like, "What's going on?!".  Haha, it's great.  The whole thing takes place in the mythic 1970's, a time when if you wanted a mobile phone you had to be a time traveler.  Some people had facial hair.  They were usually the ones making the faces.  Inherent Vice, more Inherent Nice Nice Baby.
