It’s a blast listening to him complain about the companies spending habits. Rob Reiner adds a bit of fun as DiCaprio’s father. He helped Brad Pitt run a business successfully in Money Ball, and he helps out Leo, too.

Things momentarily got better when Jonah Hill appears. None of that is anything you haven’t seen before. We also have DiCaprio being shown with a normal wife and typical life, before rising to the top – making millions, and sleeping with various hookers, and snorting coke off various body parts.
#THE WOLF OF WALL STREET REDDIT MOVIE#
It’s movie dialogue that isn’t authentic. It’s the same idiotic scene Scorsese did with Mark Walhberg yelling at him upon their first meeting in the police station in The Departed. This, after yet another exchange where a boss is going over-the-top yelling at DiCaprio about how much a low-life scum he is. The scene they have at the restaurant is dopey. He’s still painfully thin from Dallas Buyers Club, making it distracting. His first lunch with an early mentor, played by Matthew McConaughey, is an example.

There’s so much about this movie that other critics will praise, that did nothing for me. What’s not to enjoy about a rich jerk on a yacht taunting FBI agents, and throwing lobster at them as they walk away. Some of the set pieces are outstanding and Belfort’s speeches possess an energy that is enthralling. I can still enjoy watching a picture about a loathsome loser. I don’t mind that Belfort is a protagonist we hate. We see more drugs being consumed than in any other movie I’ve ever seen. The problem arises after an hour and half (of a three-hour movie), when things just get repetitive. It’s cute to hear Belfort break the fourth wall to tell the audience what color his Lamborghini is, or tell a few party stories. Although the movie Wall Street and Boiler Room covered this ground (and in better films), it’s a decent topic and should be fun to show the debauchery of what was happening in this guys world. Scorsese has chosen to tackle the story of Jordan Belfort, a real-life penny-stock swindler who made $100 million while duping investors. After watching this movie…and The Departed five years ago, I can’t say I wish Marty retired but…at least taken a break. Talk about praise for the actor he’s had in five movies. In an interview, Martin Scorsese said he would’ve retired from filmmaking years ago if it wasn’t for Leonardo DiCaprio. Please look at the time stamp on the story to see when it was last updated.
