The truth hurts and isn't actually funny

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2016)

Why this is considered a "comedy" has me wondering. Was "Too Big to Fail" considered a comedy because it was about the same timeline and events. There were many funny moments to me but neither of these are comedies. A comedy is where I go and expect to laugh out loud, roar and tell stories about the jokes. Not chuckle a few times and remember the events and dread of the years in that business. "The Big Short" wasn't meant to be a comedy but more like a serious look a foolishness and greed that gets into everyone.
There are many funny moments but not meant to be considered a comedy movie like "Trainwreck" or "Sisters". Comparing those movies in the same category is like saying "Mad Max: Fury Road" is a musical competing with "Pitch Perfect 2". Both are fun but alike at all. Why some get put into certain categories is silly.
At any rate. " The Big Short" is a great film. I know it because I was a serious money manager way back when all this happened.
