What’s Aged the Best?

Seedy seventies Los Angeles, running jokes and the actors endure.

  • The period setting, young Qualley, the and-stuff correction and memorable lines are praised; the Crowe/Basinger reunion means little to one participant.
  • Crowe’s reported claim of gaining weight for the role prompts joking comparisons with athletes returning overweight.
  • Dive bars, adult theaters, bookstores and the airport hotel’s multiple bars create an appealingly seedy setting.
  • The running jokes about Janet and her sister are enjoyed, especially Gosling talking to kids like adults and the daughter driving.
  • Hannibal Burris as the killer bee in the back seat while the driver sleeps is great.
  • Suspicion of corporations remains timely. The automaker conspiracy is questioned as overcomplication but defended for the smog-related comedy it enables.
  • Gosling’s subsequent rise strengthens appreciation of the performance.
