Review

great flick about the financial meltdown of 07. adam mckay has comic sensibilities, but is also into the social commentary stuff and the two collide here. tonally it’s the serious answer to “the other guys” which was mostly comedy with some drama and had a social component to it. great ensemble and great format with the cutaways to famous people filling the audience in on the nitty gritty of CDOs and other financial terms that we got way too acquainted with during that time. i don’t watch many movies in the theater these days so i’m happy the ones i’ve been getting to watch have been worthwhile.
