-"Tell me the difference between stupid and illegal and I'll have my wife's brother arrested."
I had to fight the film's fidgety style all the way through, but its message softened my heart in the end. I would say this film has to be (morally) about five-thousand-times better than The Wolf of Wall Street, and yet/because of that almost nobody cares about it now and definitely nobody will care about it in a couple of years, while Leonardo will receive praise indefinitely, and golly gosh, that pisses me off so much.
Nevertheless, I still think that Adam McKay should sort of ease on those "though guy statements", at least in the beginning. And this also seems to by my favourite role of Steve Carell.
(I read there was supposed to be Scarlett Johansson under a waterfall instead of Margot Robbie in a bubble bath, and I would much prefered the first option, because Scarlett is an actress capable of expressing irony while Margot Robbie is not.)
