Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
By Stuart Hoffman
A Cleveland Premiere
November 10 - 13
Directed by Jacqi Loewy
When two aggressive cinephiles cross paths, tempers flare and sparks fly. However, when their abrasive personalities put their jobs at risk, they must rely on the last person they expect to for help: each other. Playing homage to the screwball comedies of the 1930s and 1980s rom-coms, in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, no film remains unscathed.
