My Take
Ed Solomon is, to me, proof that great comedy writing is secretly precise engineering. Anyone can scribble a goofy time-travel romp, but Bill & Ted endures because its sweetness is calibrated, not accidental. Then he turns around and writes Men in Black and Now You See Me, juggling sci-fi deadpan and sleight-of-hand plotting with equal ease. That range tells me he genuinely loves entertaining people rather than impressing critics. A Saratoga kid who went through UCLA and never lost his playful instinct, Solomon is the kind of unpretentious craftsman whose movies still send me out of the theater grinning.
