In the book it states that female sales associates at the company were "servicing" other guys on the trading floor, for no real reason.

i'm in my last semester of grad school about to get my master's in finance. my goal is to emulate Jordan Belfort's life

Most entertaining movie I've ever seen. Period.

I was surprised as hell when I looked down at my watch as the credits were rolling and realized it was 8:15 (saw the 4:50 showing). 3 hours went by without me ever once looking at my watch, phone or ever taking my eyes off the screen. Just...wow.

Leo has taken over for Tom Hanks & Denzel Washington in my eyes as the one actor I will watch in anything. The guy just nails every role.

Coming in a little late with this.

First thing is yes multiple people/couples stood up and left at various points throughout the film.

The blonde wife was absolutely stunning.

I thought Leo as usual did a solid job. Some of his speeches to the employees to get them pumped up were incredible.

For people looking for a lot of substance and some underlying message from a movie you won't find it in this one. Just a whole lot of partying and a whole lot of drugs. It really captures the lifestyle in a way that seems completely fictional but also entirely believable.

As someone else said the FBI part seemed forced in and wasn't much of a commitment to it, but if that was how the book was then that's understandable.

The comments and flashbacks were hilarious, I also enjoyed the Popeye scene

Very entertaining overall, and some absolutely hilarious moments. And lots of tits

Saw it earlier in the week. Nobody got up and left, but it was definitely uncomfortable. I saw it in the middle of the day, so there were a lot of old couples in there. Actually, I was probably the only person in the place under 40. I'm 26.

For some reason, I was the only person in the place laughing at the scene where they were discussing how they could treat the midgets and what they could get away with.

Jordan: What's the liability on something like this?

Rugrat: (paraphrasing) I'll have to call the insurance company, but I think we can use a loophole where if we don't treat them like actual people, then we're in the clear.


I thought Rugrat was a very underrated character, by the way. He was cracking me up. I'm going to use "turn your fricking brain on." for the rest of my life when dealing with dipshit employees.
