Bridget Jones meets Castaway meets Lord of the Flies. I'm baffled by the generous reviews for this movie. The unoriginal, predictable plot with more holes than Swiss cheese and ridiculous characters that completely loses the run of it itself by the end and just decided to wrap it up quickly. I guess it does appeal to the "girl power" brigade so the generous reviews are perhaps unstandable. Women strong rawrrrr.

Nauseating. The movie equivalent of a magazine puff piece that lionizes a disingenuous and fake personality. Springsteen's blue collar "everyman" shtick is so fake it's laughable.

It starts out well, it paints an interesting picture of how the self appointed Masters of the Universe see themselves. Some of the dialogue is snappy and occasionally reminiscent of Succession (Was your interior designer Ayn Bland?). The second half however seems to descend into farce and feels hard to believe, even for these megalomaniacs. The acting is solid but no more than that. Maybe some more time spent on the script could have made it better?

Brilliant, I wasn't expecting much from this but it's actually hilarious. This movie doesn't take itself too seriously but has a serious message.Definitely recommended.
