Pain and Gain

Watched last night. . .
Want my money and my time back.
It was like a movie that wanted to be a funny version of Alpha Dogs, but just failed all around.
What am I missing in this movie that other people seemed to enjoy?
Also, this is the first character Rock has done that I not only did not enjoy. . .but I thought the character's arc was a jumbled mess. The decline did not follow, nor did the reversal.
It was just bad. Tony Shaloub was the best character in the movie. . .but he is the biggest underutilized gem in Tinseltown, if you ask me.
Am I off base here? The movie just didn't work, imho. Is the problem me?

Ahhh, another internet movie snob.
Take a cue from the rest of us who don't have a stick up our asses. Don't take yourself or any movie too seriously and you might actually find yourself having a good time.

I'm no snob, far from it.
I like a wide range of flicks.
This one just missed in every way.

It's a true story. The funniest part to me was that these idiots thought they'd get away with it.

watched it Friday,the first 20 minutes seemed ok, then it just got weird, boring, and long 
Posted on 9/9/13 at 3:17 pm to Roaad
I liked it. It was bizarre and I laughed a lot. I do see where some might not like it, though.

I didn't even make it through that movie. Fell asleep halfway through and didn't care to finish it.
