3 hours of debauchery

Rating: 7/10 (20 May 2014)

I have mixed feelings about this picture. I expected great things because of the critical acclaim and viewers' response that it received and it stars Jonah Hill and Leo DiCaprio both of whom I am a big fan of. Did it deliver? Yeah kind of I guess. I mean it was wickedly funny and the acting really was convincing,Oscar-worthy even. But to say it was overrated is a bit of an understatement. The negatives were that firstly, it dragged and dragged- in fact, it could have been half as long and still achieved everything. Secondly, I felt that it glorified this disgusting, greedy and hedonistic behaviour. I know this sounds really lame, but I like a movie to have a message at the end. But you didn't get that with this one. Finally, I felt that nothing much happened. They had tons of sex. Did tons of drugs. Got richer.
Maybe because I'm a teenage girl I didn't full appreciate it for what it was but I feel that this is one of those films that guys would like more than girls. A pretty good film but I would probably not watch it again any time soon.
