I had planned on seeing this in a theater, but I only got around to it when it was streaming- and even then, it took being stuck in a hotel room to get me to watch.
The acting is strong, George Clooney is charming, Adam Sandler again shows he’s good at serious parts, Billy Crudup has a scene that steals the movie. But I had a hard time connecting to a story about a massively successful movie star who has trouble with real world relationships. I think I would have been more engaged if the movie was from Crudup’s point of view, or if both stories were told in parallel.
Today’s fake poster comes from a different new movie that’s about a much less successful performer.
