The Pithy Banter was exhausting!

Rating: 7/10 (25 July 2018)

If you know know Aaron Sorkin, you'd know he wrote this early on. I normally love the cadence of his words and the smart as all get out word play. I never thought it would work to the detriment of his work, but in Molly's Game it did.
I kept getting the feeling that he just saw 'Goodfella's' and wanted to duplicate it. His failing was in trying to outdo it. The Pithy Banter of the narration, one of the most fun parts of Goodfella's was so overdone here that I had to stop the DVD in mid-play to write this. Mr. Sorkin is an unrivaled talent, and I will always give his work deference, but in this case I think he needs to reel it back. This film presses the 'Enough Already' but about halfway in and I'm a little saddened that I didn't want to watch it further.
