Product Description IT’S HARD TO ROCK AND ROLL WHEN YOU’RE KNEE-DEEP IN RUBBER! Julius Caesar MacGruder (Anthony Michael Hall, Sixteen Candles), the outrageous lead singer of ''Hail Caesar'', a rock 'n' roll band, wants it all… fame, fortune, beautiful girls and a recording contract from Easy Street Records (fronted by Robert Downey Jr., The Avengers). There’s only one problem, Julius isn't a rock star… he’s a worker at a pencil eraser factory run by the notorious Mr. Bidwell (Nicholas Pryor, Risky Business). And with his dreams seemingly out of his grasp, he falls in love with the boss's daughter Buffer (Bobbie Phillips, Showgirls) against her father's wishes. In order to curry favor with him, Julius makes a bet with the old man… if he comes up with $100,000 in six months, Mr. Bidwell must let them be together. Can Julius make the money, make it big, AND get the girl? ''The Brat Pack'' meets ''The Avengers'' in Anthony Michael Hall's comedic directorial debut that features an all-star supporting cast that includes Judd Nelson (The Breakfast Club), Samuel L. Jackson (Captain Marvel) and Frank Gorshin (Twelve Monkeys). SPECIAL FEATURES: Original Theatrical Trailer Optional English Subtitles Collectible Mini-Poster Review Samuel L. Jackson, god bless him, throws his all into the masochistic role of a mailman terrorized by Julius' big, mean dog. Jackson appeared in Pulp Fiction the year this came out yet he gives his all to cartoonish canine slapstick... Hail Caesar would like to be [Anthony Michael] Hall's Billy Madison... --Nathan Rabin, NathanRabin.com / Nathan Rabin's Happy Place
