Full Plot Details

It's Hollywood, 1958. Aspiring actress, songwriter, small town beauty queen and devout Baptist virgin Marla Mabrey (Lily Collins) has a contract with movie mogul Howard Hughes (Warren Beatty) and arrives with her mother (Annette Bening) in Los Angeles to do a screen test for one of his film projects. At the airport, they meet their driver Frank Forbes (Alden Ehrenreich). Forbes is an ambitious young man with a business plan and engaged to his 7th grade sweetheart, both deeply religious Methodists. The instant attraction that Marla and Frank feel for each other not only puts their religious convictions and moral values to the test, but also defies Hughes' #1 rule: No employee is allowed to have any relationship whatsoever with a contract actress. Hughes' enigmatic behavior intersects with Marla and Frank in separate and unexpected ways, and as they are drawn deeper into his bizarre world, their values are challenged and their lives are changed.

Movie Reviews

Spliced Personality - 10/10 by Sean BurnsMaybe I'm just not in the mood to laugh at the lovable eccentricities of an unstable, narcissistic billionaire right now.
Minneapolis Star Tribune - 10/10 by Colin CovertThe precisely calibrated chaos of Beatty's film begins with a slow burn as a captivating romance, follows mounting momentum into delirious lunacy and ends with a touch of existential sadness.
Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonRules Don't Apply is a big, cuddly Hollywood screwball comedy with a cup of romance and a dash of heart.
TheWrap - 9/10 by Alonso DuraldeWhile writer-director Warren Beatty’s movie about Hughes is crafted of the finest materials, it too remains mostly earthbound, defying gravity only in fits and starts.
Groucho Reviews - 9/10 by Peter CanaveseIn his screenplay and performance as Hughes, Beatty offers a canny, sharply drawn, and highly personal take on the billionaire, with strong elements of lacerating self-parody.
Detroit News - 9/10 by Adam GrahamThere's a boyish charm to Beatty's performance, and the film maintains a whimsical, lightly zany tone throughout.
Flavorwire - 9/10 by Jason BaileyAfter waiting this long for new Beatty, it gives me no pleasure to report 'Rules Don't Apply' is not terribly good. But, as is so often the case with gifted filmmakers, it's not terribly good in some really fascinating ways
Brooklyn Magazine - 9/10 by Jesse HassengerMuch of the movie is charming and funny, but by the end it feels elusive, particularly when trying to figure where Beatty is going with this pet project.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Robin CliffordThe focus of "Rules Don't Apply" is not on Hughes, though Beatty chews the scenery with gusto as the infamous recluse.
Reeling Reviews - 9/10 by Laura CliffordWriter/director Warren Beatty, whose long gestating film is his first since 1998's "Bulworth," springs back with a frothy comedy steeped in the golden glow of the old, waning Hollywood studio system.
