I think this one has a good chance of being a fun movie to watch, despite the star overloading Shocked

I've read that it's apparently terrible, which is unfortunate.  I really wanted the movie to be good.  I still might watch it.

I thought this was going to be about the book, holy shit.


I bet Jon Ronson is pleased that he is being played by Ewan McGregor, just look at his smile



Of course, maybe he's less pleased about the fact that he's now an American dude and holy shit I just watched the trailer.

I am probably going to have to see this film just for the hell of it. Jesus christ!

Of course, maybe he's less pleased about the fact that he's now an American dude and holy shit I just watched the trailer.

I can understand Americanising the part, since Hollywood does that as a matter of course, but getting a British man who is not very good at American accents to play an American when the character is based on a Briton... Now that's just being silly.

I will probably watch this, it'll be surprisingly good or a total clusterfuck and either of those will entertain me enough to make it worth my time.

Looks funny.

I love Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges and, to a lesser extent, George Clooney. Ewan McGregor is whatever but sometimes he's in good movies despite his mediocrity.

I'll most likely see it.

I thought it was an enjoyable movie, but I feel like a lot of it was carried by the audience in the theatre.

I don't know whether I'll ever feel the need to see it again.

I saw it and I thought it was strange, a little anti-climactic, and I couldn't quite get what they were trying to say, but overall it was enjoyable.

I definitely enjoyed watching it, but the jury is still out in my head as to whether or not it was a good movie or a great one.

I thought it was a great film, although a bit of a mess in some places, where the plot seemed to be goig nowhere. It was funny as hell though. Reminded me a bit of the Coen Bros' work
