So most people will compare this to the Wolf of Wall Street because I guess they find them similar (which they are not). In this case however I will use that film for a comparison. First off, not as good. Not for a long shot! Don't get me wrong, I appreciate David O' Russel's style of film making as much as the next movie buff, but this one just didn't hit me as fantastic. The acting and writing is superb, I will give it that! But the movie has so many people and tries to fit so much into two hours, it just doesn't hold up and to be honest, its overall just a little bit all over the place. There is way too much time spent on the less important characters then there needs to be and it just dosen't quite fit together. I would not have known it was supposed to be a comedy if it had not won best comedy at the golden globes because it attempts to be funny but is edited in such an odd way that it just comes out a bit awkward. I was super excited to see this but in the end, a bit of a let down. However, Amy Adams V-Dress makes up for that. That earns a star.
4/5 STARS
