Bombshell (1933)
6/10
chaos energy
10 October 2020
Movie star Lola Burns (Jean Harlow) is pissed off and her life is chaos. Her father Pops is an incompetent manager. She is angry at her studio publicist "Space" Hanlon (Lee Tracy). Her boyfriend gets arrested. She's tired of the business and tries to adopt a baby.

The dialogue is rapid fire. It's a lot of yelling. I'm not in love with Lola and that's the biggest problem in this movie. I need to really get invested in her chaos but I don't really care that much. Her life gets much more chaotic and convoluted. I like the energy of the screwball chaos. The humor doesn't strike me as that funny.
