Wolf of Wall Street

For some reason I was looking forward to this. This was one of those I put on and it flunked the 30 minute test. I couldn't figure what was wrong so I looked at the reviews online to see if I was thinking of something else. Nope, great reviews all lined up. Cast, check, potentially interesting story, check, directed by Martin Scorsese, yep.

So, back I went since obviously I was just off to a bumpy start. Rich frat boy party scenes one after the other. 3 hours of it, it took two evenings for me to get through it. I wish they would have taken the story line (all 90 minutes of it), sprinkled in several shorter hooker fests (say, 30 minutes) and come out with a more interesting 2 hour film that would have been a decent portrait of the times and this man. It's the other full hour of what seemed to be purely gratuitous party/drug footage that irritated me.

I want my money back, and it was free.

Obviously my opinion is in the minority, so enjoy.
