Dave O'Gorman

I like a lot of pulpy, mainstream-entertaining movies, and I genuinely don't get the appeal of this muddled, uneven, atonal mishmash of drama that's not very dramatic and comedy that's not very funny. Jonah Hill's character is palpably unlikable from wire to wire and the film positively vibrates with the panic of having no idea whether it's trying to be funny. It gets two stars on account of a few stand-out scenes, but also because Google won't let me give it one-and-a-half, which is what I would have.
