My recommendation for this one was:
"I like Dolly Parton, she seems nice. I love Hitchcock. I've had horrible bosses....I'm seeing this one."
Saw this at the Rainbow last night with the wife. The highlight of the evening was sushi. It's not that this movie was horrible, as it had some funny moments. It even mentions the Hitchcock reference. It's just that the story wasn't that interesting. Bateman was good. Aniston was filthy... in a good way. Charlie Day played the role like mini-Bobcat Goldthwaite. Colin Farrell was perfectly slimy. Spacey was Spacey. There were no weak links in the cast.
In the end, unfortunately, the whole was far less than the sum of its parts.
This blog was inspired by Max Beerbohm (August 24, 1872 – May 20, 1956) an English essayist, parodist, critic and caricaturist. He was once asked how he wrote his book reviews. He answered, "I look at the book, write the review and, if I like the review, I'll read the book." I sort of apply Max's approach to movies. Kind of like judging a book by its cover... only judging a movie by its trailer.
