A difficult film to make. Maybe it shouldn't have been made?

Rating: 1/10 (20 October 2018)

I don't even pay attention to this page ratings anymore. I read one long review with a positive score, one long with a really low score and one that is closer to what I think, and that's it. 7.6? This? Lol.
This story was probably really hard to make. It's kind of a really Nolan-like intelligent type of story, that plays with reality, time, and ever changing (or not?) destiny/end. And yet, the execution of this was so stupid, so ridiculous. I feel the producers and director just quit before even trying.
And even then, you can cast Will Ferrell and try to take the most humorous parts of the story and tell it that way. If that's what they tried, I just didn't see it, because I didn't laugh (not even chuckle) once. The movie takes itself completely serious even when scene after scene, the acting it's so bad for a realistic take, making it looks worse for itself, second after second.
I don't blame Will Ferrell in the least. He put his trust in Marc Foster and the casting director, and they let him down. A scene with Maggie Gyllenhaal in particular was so jarring to see. It was like someone mixed "Anchorman" with "You've Got Mail" and couldn't decide the tone they were going for so they just keep it like that instead of re shooting the whole thing.
