"Baby Driver"

Totally fun summer movie. Lots of action, amazing music, over-the-top characters and plot, an evil Kevin Spacey (is there any other kind) and just pure, mad, silly, bloody fun.  If you are looking for something with authenticity, integrity, realism, altruism, thoughtfulness and inspiration, something with real people, real situations and honest dialogue, this will not be that.  This is the opposite of that.

"Baby Driver" is basically a heist story, with guns and lots of swearing, with a corny love story and with a humorously psychotic and unkillable Jon Hamm character named Buddy. There are a couple of gory scenes, the kind that make you cringe and squirm in  your seat and say "oh, yuck" but they aren't offensive because they aren't real!  It's a movie!  Plus it's a bit amusing as well so you get to chuckle now and then at the absurdity of it all. 

I can totally, 100% recommend this movie but don't bother if you hate guns, swearing, blood and really loud and fast car chases.  That's the entire point of the movie, that and the amazing music and the goofiness of the entire film.  I loved it.
