Just another penny stock.

Rating: 2/10 (13 January 2014)

It was a long line of people flooding out of the movie theater after the day's last showing of The Wolf of Wall Street. A long line, which consisted of people who during the previous 3 hours had filled their heads with discontent towards their own lives.
I do understand why people like the movie. It's like a 3 hour long 50 Cent music video, just replace the rappers with your favorite actors in suits.
I have to say though, the idea to make this movie now is absolutely brilliant. Now when success (money) is what everyone wants, it's a genius move to make this glorified movie about some con-artists life. Just skip all the essential parts of the story and add a ton of drugs and aesthetically pleasing female bodies and you've got yourself a moneymaker.
I think it's hilarious how the movie is just like the penny stocks with which they scam people, an overly glorified story that is clearly made to make money. Go watch it, if you are young and like to live your dreams through movies.
2 stars because the first 15 minutes were actually half-entertaining. After that, it's a fight between falling asleep and telling yourself that it will get better. (Protip: it won't)
