Overall, this film will keep you entertained the entire time. Definitely a must see!

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2016)

Martin Scorsese's controversial film, The Wolf of Wall Street, is not for the faint of heart. It contains graphic nudity, some graphic violence, frequent drug use, and it drops the f-bomb 506 times, but if you can stomach it, Scorsese will hold your attention throughout the entire 179 minutes (just send your kids to their rooms). Young Jordan Belfort begins his career on Wall Street as a stock broker and is met by a list of unmentionable acts to commit. Wall Street and a brief counseling from a certain Matthew Mcconaughey turns him into a drug and money obsessed man who goes to great lengths to get what he wants. This movie is comparable in length to those of The Lord of the Rings and the Harry Potter series, but if you can't sit through those without being bored, this film may still be for you, and I highly encourage you to give it a watch. In lamest terms, from the plot, to the acting, to the cast choice, I give The Wolf of Wall Street ten out of ten stars, all the way.
The cast choice is one of the best features of this film. Whoever chose the cast for this film was a genius. Leonardo Dicaprio, Oscar-less at the time, gave an unbelievable performance. It is a mystery to me how his single Oscar (how he has only one Oscar is equally mysterious) did not come from this movie. His extremely convincing acting is one of the main things that won me over for this movie. His portrayal of a self-absorbed, drug addicted starlet could not have been conveyed any better by anyone other than Dicaprio. His performance was a must see. The supporting roles were also chosen very wisely. Belfort's crazy best friend, portrayed by Jonah Hill, will keep you laughing the whole time. In fact, it's said that at times, Hill legitimately made Dicaprio laugh while the camera was rolling with his witty and just blatantly hilarious demeanor. And how could we forget about Margot Robbie? She was clearly typecast for her role as Naomi Belfort. The casting for this film is, bottom line, excellent and is what makes up a huge part of this movie's success.
The brilliant plot of The Wolf of Wall Street will keep you heartily entertained and make you forget that you've been sitting in the same spot for 3 hours straight. As soon as you think Jordan is going to be arrested, he magically escapes from the hands of the law like Houdini. You wonder how in the world Naomi married him after he cheated on his first wife with her. Your ass may literally fall off from laughing so hard. Need something to get your mind off of your loneliness, or something to watch to make you feel like you're on top of the world? Watch this movie. Scorsese's directing makes you feel like you are present in Belfort's life. You may feel like you need to studiously read the bible after watching this film. You might feel like you need a bath. You may want to spontaneously do a line of cocaine. You may want to yell at someone in that god awful Northern accent. That's what makes this movie great.
If you're looking for something to do because your boyfriend dumped you and this is the first lonely Friday night you've had to experience in a while, please watch this movie. Words cannot describe the grip this movie will hold on you. I strongly encourage you to give this movie a view. Hopefully it will immediately hold a special place in your heart like it does mine.
