It’s just all over the place. Like a book with 20 chapters in which the setting and story are different in every chapter, but the characters stay the same. It has no centre to tie it all together, so it just feels like the movie is walking me deeper into a maze that I don't care enough about to be in. The acting is great, even if Matt Damon’s character is a little flat. There are some jokes throughout, enough to call this a comedy, but only just. This is a drama heavy comedy. Unfortunately, it’s only middling in either respect, which ultimately makes it awkward, boring, long, and forgettable. Some of the concepts are thought provoking, but they only scratch the surface before moving on to the next thing, which leaves you feeling cheated out of the 10 different (possibly better) movies they could have made instead. It’s not bad. But it’s not good. It’s worth a watch if you’re off for 3 weeks like I am right now, but if It’s a tossup between this and a feel good nostalgia movie, pick the nostalgia movie. I let this sit on my Netflix list for almost a year before I actually watched it, and I don’t regret waiting til I had nothing else to watch to finally get around to it.
