poorly written, but great acting and great idea

Rating: 3/10 (11 August 2011)

This is a story about an guy who gets supper high intelligence, written for people with supper low intelligence.
Its such a good idea, with such a great cast, i don't know why the writers felt the need to patronize their audience, other than maybe they were too stupid to realize what they were writing didn't make sense.
i could almost forgive them for writing in two police officers so incompetent as to not even search a guy at a murder scene.. just so the film wouldn't end right there.
But when he starts taking the drug he was supposed to be MORE intelligent, so why couldn't he do the simplest of maths. If you can turn $2000 into $7500 in a day, that's not quintupled btw (as he claimed) its not even quadrupled for god sake. But if you can do that then by the day after tomorrow you'd have about $105468 so why he needed to borrow $100000 is beyond me. then he FORGETS to pay it back?? then there's the stocks, and he speaks so much rubbish its really difficult keep watching..
i could go on but i think i made my point, great idea, great acting, but the writers should be working in a sweatshop making shoes somewhere.
