THE RULES DON'T APPLY Will Be the Non-Geek Movie Option for Visiting Relatives Over Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving weekend is one of the largest movie days during the year due to traveling families who are looking for an escape from relatives they haven't seen in a while. While I would wager a lot of you guys will be traveling to see Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, there is an option on the freak chance your relatives don't want any part of that awesome.
The Rules Don't Apply was likely chosen to be released over Thanksgiving break specifically for that reason! Read the official description and continue on below...
An aspiring young actress (Lily Collins) and her ambitious young driver (Alden Ehrenreich) struggle hopefully with the absurd eccentricities of the wildly unpredictable billionaire Howard Hughes (Warren Beatty) for whom they work. It’s Hollywood, 1958. Small town beauty queen, songwriter, and devout Baptist virgin Marla Mabrey (Collins), under contract to the infamous Howard Hughes (Beatty), arrives in Los Angeles. At the airport, she meets her driver Frank Forbes (Ehrenreich), who is engaged to be married to his 7th grade sweetheart and is a deeply religious Methodist.
Their instant attraction not only puts their religious convictions to the test, but also defies Hughes’ #1 rule: no employee is allowed to have any relationship whatsoever with a contract actress. Hughes’ behavior intersects with Marla and Frank in very separate and unexpected ways, and as they are drawn deeper into his bizarre world, their values are challenged and their lives are changed.
Sounds like a film for older people who would turn up their nose to some Harry Potter, right? On the off chance you do find yourself going to this film, don't worry, it still looks pretty good. Is it something I personally would pay to see in a theater...hell no! If someone else is paying though, why not?
The Rules Don't Apply opens November 23rd.
