And we're back to tradition. That didn't last long. Last weekend proved the point that September is home to some of the poorer film releases of the year.
Judging by the trailer,
You Again looked like a potentially promising romantic comedy. It turned out to just be a marginally enjoyable trailer. The film itself had nothing going for it. It just wasn't funny. I really liked the idea of it and in better hands I think it could have actually been a good movie.
Not terrible,
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps wasn't terrific either. At times I really liked it - all the slick business moves and dialogue were fun; and I thought LeBeouf was great in what felt like his first truly grown up role. Mulligan was great also, but that goes without saying. What I didn't like were the out of place transitions, too many montages and the unnecessary length of the picture. Had it been shorter and tighter, I think it would have been better.
