7/10
Another movie about Howard Hughes, but does enough to make it seem new and interesting and definitely worth your time.

"Maybe your wealth isn't the best thing for your health." Marla Mabrey (Collins) finally gets the chance to live out her dream of becoming an actress. She signs a contract and is waiting for her screen test for a movie. The longer she waits the more anxious she becomes and attempts to finally meet her employer face to face, but Howard Hughes (Beatty) isn't known for being available. This is a movie that I had low expectations for. The cast in this is incredible but movies about the reclusiveness of Howard Hughes have been done over and over. I'm not sure if that played a part in my enjoyment or not but I actually liked this a lot more than I was expecting to. The acting is really good and Beatty does a great job playing Hughes as he slips further into madness. This is nothing to rush out and see but this is a movie that was much better than I expected and surprisingly do recommend. Overall, another movie about Howard Hughes, but does enough to make it seem new and interesting and definitely worth your time. I give this a B.
