What Jack Says...
If you don't know what this movie is about then you have been living under a rock and I don't feel I need to elaborate on the plot.
Let's just get down to it then. I feared the worst in this movie when Hari saw it in the theater and had trouble staying awake. Needless to say it clearly hasn't been on the top of my to do list. It was finally streamable, thank you Netflix, and I was able to check it out.
Ok, Brad Pitt is old in this movie. I guess you all know that, but he is really old. Like crotchety nasty old man saggy balls crotchety in this movie. The worst part is that he is old almost the whole movie. Yes, the whole movie. I'm not exaggerating even a little bit. He doesn't get hot until 30 minute before this monstrosity is over. I will say that when he gets hot he is pretty hot.
Now onto Ms. Blanchett. OH, sweet Jesus she is beautiful in this movie. Even when she is her actual age she is beautiful. They did all these creepy movie tricks to make all the actors look older and younger at different points and it has to be against all that is holey. It's the devils work I tell you. No seriously, she was wonderful and I would watch her do just about anything. Wait there is one thing I will never watch her do again and that is play Bob Dylan. Wow that movie was bad.
In the end, this movie was just so so. Certainly one of my least favorite David Fincher films, but I guess it was watchable.
I give this one 6. Not wonderful, but not horrible either. Oh, Yeah and I cried hard. Yep hard.
