Strangely disappointed

Rating: 5/10 (6 March 2014)

I was amazed that a movie with the A-list of talent and the experience that was running it, that it left such a dry impression on me. The acting was lackluster and the story line was weak and contrived. There were to many unnecessary details and story points that made this film very hard to watch. I found it very hard to decipher whether or not this movie was meant to be a comedy, a drama, or a true crime. It seemed like it made a failed attempt at humor but tried to fall back on drama when the comedy fell apart (the true crime was somewhat self evident). This is a movie that I would just as soon forget and I was confused as to why it was even considered for Oscar nomination.
