It is sad, intense, slow-moving, well-acted and, too often, dramatically stilted.

Even though it does everything you expect, and nothing you don’t, it still kind of works due to some well-filmed racing action and the always welcome charisma of Brad Pitt.

It is an enjoyable movie, entertaining and well-made. They can’t all be classics. Sometimes you just need something that is a pleasant use of an hour-and-a-half.

it is smart, charming and adult in the way the characters talk about their fears and insecurities, specifically surrounding relationships.

It is entertaining, amusing, a little cold and has an overly complicated plot. I don’t know if this is one I’d revisit very often, but it is a decent time while it lasts.

I may forget it in a few days, yet I am not unhappy that I saw it.

Nothing about this is pleasant, yet you can’t look away. These guys are damn good at what they do.

It is enjoyable, especially if you are into this style of comedy, even if it feels like there is something great about to bust out that never truly does.

Depth is replaced by lots of closeups of his face and distorted shots of him looking contemplative.
