Captivating and Comedic

Rating: 9/10 (17 February 2014)

A seemingly stern film, The Wolf of Wall Street is actually hilarious. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jonah Hill present a chemically perfect duo that flawlessly deliver both serious and funny scenes. Though the numerous nude scenes create controversy among many viewers, Scorsese was able to tone it down enough to make the movie very enjoyable. DiCaprio is known for many serious roles, but from the start he is an adrenaline junkie who feeds off sex, drugs, and his favorite vice - money. He meets his flawlessly compatible partner Donnie Azoff when Donnie is struggling to make ends meet. Throughout this three hour film, they run into many problems that will either make you laugh or put you on the edge of your seat. With the addition of the other founding members of Stratton-Oakmont Inc., you'll surely love this movie. If you can handle sex and drugs and enjoy the hilarity and talent of this cast, you'll love The Wolf of Wall Street.
