just finish watch 2ftm . the trailer intrigue me so much i actually go to see it on open weekend and something i never do . needless to say i be very disappointed . the story have so much potential and it frustrate to see it get screw up . i really feel the problem with the movie be the directing and matthew mcconaughey . first off i be not a mm hater and i think he be awesome in both reign of fire and lone star . i enjoy his performance in those movie without have to see him with his shirt off 3 4 time . yes we all get it that he a good look guy with a nice body and but i think most people know this 10 year ago when he come on the scene in a time to kill . show him with his shirt off pump iron like a sweaty madman 3 4 time in the movie be totally unnecessary . i think one time would have be sufficient . it wouldn not surprise me if they throw those unnecessary scene in so girlfriend and wife would be willing to tag along with their significant other and no woman want to see a movie about sport gamble and unless . enough about that and let get into his role . i feel his acting be very forced and he do not seem very comfortable . i know his character be suppose to be this charming southerner and but his line be corny and cheesy . it be almost like he be reference day and confused line a few time . in short and i do not like his character even though i be suppose to . the accent and his shirt off and corny pick up line and weak sale pitch . his character be just too much of a tool and a brandon or jonathan . pacino and assante be great and but that no surprise . piven be fun to watch a arie . oooops i mean jerry . i just feel this movie be very commercial and put together poorly . it insult that they could take a great story and and throw in crap ingredient to try and make it a box office success . 1. cool story that appeal to the male man 2. hunky hollywood actor for female woman ( make sure he have numerous scene with shirt off lift weight ) 3. al pacino with 4 great speech scene and and 25 great one liners 3. every character shall be dress in thousand dollar suite and have an extremely dark tan 4. jeremy piven to play the same character he do in entourage and old school 4. throw in armand assante to seal the deal 5. plot and good writing and character development and and intelligent casting be unnecessarythis will be good enough for most people and but not me . anybody who disagree with me and ask your self this . would this movie be much good if represent a. direct by sodeberg b. decaprio or ed norton a brandon instead of mmi will probably be part of the minority in think this movie suck . i realize this when the woman next to me started cry during the ridiculous end scene of pacino shed a fake tear while embrace russo . the financial success of this movie will ensure one thing . the movie go public get what the movie go public want and big budget crapola .
