A story told with D-grade skits, endless T&A and cocaine sniffing

Rating: 1/10 (30 March 2014)

This movie wants to show excess, but they should have gone way, way further, I mean into minute, subtle details. I just realized they showed excess but very little disregard, so there's no point of reference for any of it. It's like watching a car supposedly racing, but there's a white background behind the car. Where is this all heading? How can I tell it's even moving? What else is there to give me any faith in what they are presenting? In this movie, nothing.
I didn't believe it was indicative of anything, only an amped up story of one person's life. Skit-level stuff? What FBI agent would say "Can you say that again, exactly as you said it", as his partner moves closer to the person he's talking to?
I wanted to title this review 'I could go at any time', because I am such a huge Leonardo diCaprio fan. And Jonah Hill, too, really all the recognizable names involved.
I saw an interview on TV with Matthew McConaughey, in which he said that they had incorporated one of his own pesonal gestures into the movie. He described it, and yes, it was there, twice. At the time of watching the interview I thought, oh dear, they really don't have much to work with do they, if they are resorting to this. And it's true. This is really a "hey, let's do that!" kind of movie, except what made them giggle on set doesn't work on screen.
The guy who made Goodfellas and Casino made this? As Fred Willard's character said in A Mighty Wind, "Wha' happened?" Don't waste your time or money on The Wolf of Wall Street.
