Saw the film over the weekend and it was a borderline thumb's up. Too much Leo, Jonah Hill and just too long
Based on the true story of Jordan Belfort's memoir surrounding his indulgent ride as a crooked banker made headlines in the 1990's. Terrence Winter provides the screenplay. Jonah Hill and Oscar-winner Jean Dujardin co-star.
Film was 3 hours long and if you aren't prepared for decadence, or expletive after expletive with constant nudity this film isn't for you.
We saw it locally at one of the "artsie" theaters. When I bought ticket there was a note taped inside the cashier's window stating that there will be no refunds to the movie based on the swearing and nudity etc. as so many people have walked out
Leo was terrific but just got tired of him in every scene. And how the heck does Jonah Hill keep showing up in these films (Django, The End and Money Ball where he got a Best Supporting nomination) etc) after he played an adolescent boy in Super Bad
All in all a thumb's up but as stated above the decadence was off the wall.
