Was really pumped for this one after seeing the trailer a few months ago and have been waiting eagerly for it. I knew something was up when they waited till the day of release to show the reviews

Trailer for those who haven’t heard of it which is understandable because they didn’t market it very hard

Currently 22% on RT

People who can enjoy laughing at something made in dead earnest, who can appreciate, in a perverse way, a phenomenal, jaw-dropping mess, may find an experience close to pleasure in this strange, misbegotten, three-headed freak of a movie.

It didn't work for me: I was too hung up on the fanciness (and, in truth, ridiculousness) of the final half-hour to feel everything Knight wanted me to feel.


I’m still going to go see it probably Sunday

I saw the trailer awhile back and it looked like a mess then. Anne Hathaway makes me wants to see it though. I got the feeling it wasn't good when she couldn't tell some talk show host what the movie was about

The director produced/wrote Eastern Promises, Locke, and Peaky Blinders which were all great. Combine that with the all stat cast, I had high hopes

I knew it would be bad when they moved it from an October release to January.

I just read a couple of reviews. Yikes. Scathing. Ripped to shreds. Leave 15 minutes in bad. Wow. That's disappointing.

I read the spoilers because I was told it was worth it.

And it 100% was. I’m taking my wife and going to F with her the whole time.

I think MM had his period to show everyone that he can act if he wants to, and now is back to just having fun with it

Hathaway talked about how hammered she got with MM on set, and the beach bum movie looks more in that wheel house. He might just be taking checks and partying now

Man. After I read that stuff I sort of wished that I'd been in the theater experiencing that insanity.

Downvoted for making me think this is Firefly related.

She’s probably most of the issue

She’s box office poison
