Craig Gillespie directs Paul Dano, Seth Rogen and America Ferrera in this true story comedy drama of a group of amateur investors how disrupt Wall Street’s shorting of Game Stop stock to potential massive profits.

You can tell where a character is on the ethical spectrum by when and how and if they wear their mask to protect others from spreading Covid. Stacked cast of modern talents and good clean storytelling. I didn’t follow this ridiculously recent news story very closely as it happened but anything the movie illuminates comes as little surprise. You can tell everyone is aiming towards a quirkier The Social Network but the end result is a less obnoxious The Big Short. That still feels like a win. I like this flavour of movie but I’m also getting a little familiar with the rhythms of an average one.
