They All Laughed

About This Movie

They All Laughed is a quirky blend of comedy and romance that captures the essence of New York in the early '80s. The film's pacing feels rather laid-back, almost languid, which might not appeal to everyone but gives it a unique charm. The characters, particularly the two private eyes, have a palpable chemistry that drives the narrative. You’ve got John Russo, the suave charmer, trailing the sophisticated Angela, while the duo of Rutledge and Brodsky follow the enchanting Dolores. The dialogue has a natural flow, almost like eavesdropping on real conversations. The film plays with themes of love and fidelity, giving it a bit of a bittersweet edge. Also, the practical effects and setting really ground it in its time, making it feel like a slice of life from that era.
