Not particularly. It's got all the script content of a decent short film except it's two hours and fifteen minutes for no reason. Visually it's inferior to Good Time and there's a misguided attempt to try and build tension and anxiety where none can possibly exist the way the characters are written.
Legitimate spoiler Adam Sandler's character, Howard Ratner, is an butthole, addict moron with no redeeming qualities and gets shot at the end of the film, so the movie just kinda ends and leaves you with a "that's it?" feeling. It's advertised as a crime Thriller, and some people even call it a Dark Comedy, but I can't recall even a single joke or attempt at humor, and since none of the characters have any humanizing traits there's no thrill. People get shot, like the protagonist, and I feel nothing for them. It's not even because it's a "bad people are bad so they deserve to be shot" situation, it's a "absolutely nobody has any notable or defining characterization and feel like cardboard cutouts" predicament. Just an overall poor script.
>gets shot at the end
Lame, I heard from someone that it ends with him blowing himself up by accident when he has a live grenade in his hand, like he realizes what's in his hand then just chuckles before getting blown up. Maybe that's from a different movie, if so someone tell me cuz that sounds kino as frick
I have not seen this movie in about 15 years, maybe it is time for another watch.
I can't remember anything about it except that he was a weirdo loser who gets the girl?
and why was Barry so fricking timid and awkward, but then he turns into autist hulk? lmao gtfo
It was a fantasy movie for losers like me, that shit was so unrealistic that I felt insulted.
No no, you misunderstood me.
That woman was so out of his league. In reality she would have a guy best friend laying in wait for his opportunity. Barry was not charming nor was he handsome. He wore the same weird blue suit and probably smelled bad, we never see him clean up or look fresh after the first day. He progressively grew more slovenly, and talked like a spas.
Sure you're not projecting your own insecurities at this point? Like I said, she's also a little autistic like him, she'd have to be with how interested she was in him before she even met him, kindred spirits
Gaining the ability to be vulnerable, and grow closer to others makes you a stronger person which was expressed in a literal / physical sense in that scene.
How do you get filtered this fricking badly? Jesus
He wasn’t handsome enough to be that autistic. It’s similar to how broads have the got to crazy matrix. I’m sorry but that movie is pure fantasy and the stats back me up on this. I’m an old burnout past my woman chasing days. Spare me the projection shit, it doesn’t make it wrong. An ugly person can notice another ugly person, it’s objective truth.
Best Superman film ever made

it's over
flossing in front of scenes from the movie coming soon...

Cool. Gonna watch it tonight.
I cannot make it past the first 20 - 25 minutes, it is so cringe inducing. I was autistically shouting and screeching at my screen.

That happens in Tropic Thunder but with a landmine and Steve Coogan
>some people even call it a Dark Comedy, but I can't recall even a single joke
some might say that's to be expected in a dark comedy
I liked it. It's made to be as stressful and noisy as possible, so a lot of people hate it
It's like a israeli fever dream, take that as you will.
he's literally me
Movie hits too close to home
I can hate it now that it's popular
he’s fighting his demons
>I don’t know if there’s anything wrong with me because I don’t know how other people are
I have not seen this movie in about 15 years, maybe it is time for another watch.

Why was that restaurant manager such a piece of shit?
Of all the characters in this movie, he deserved a severe thrashing, Donnie Brasco style.
and why was Barry so fricking timid and awkward, but then he turns into autist hulk? lmao gtfo

>unrealistic
Nah, love changes a man, plus even the girl was pretty autistic
Guess I know what I'm watching tonight

And you, suck my dick. I was not clear enough but there is no need for that tone troony.
Keep your homosexual shit to yourself, Black person
not unrealistic at all if you've ever been a loser but managed to get a cute girl to like you

For me, it's the master. But im every pta main character anyway...
