Just because Martin Scorcese can make a movie, doesn't mean he should. Just because Martin Scorcese invites Leonardo DiCaprio to star in a movie, doesn't mean Leo should say yes. Such is the case with the woeful The Wolf of Wall Street. In this three hour bile-fest, DiCaprio stars as Jordan Belfort, an amoral, money-grubbing, lying, cheating, misogynistic lout who lives to screw people, both literally and financially, and to snort cocaine whenever and wherever he can.
Joining him in this mistaken romp through the heady days penny-stocks and pink sheets and debauchery are Matthew McConaughey, Rob Reiner and Jonah Hill. McConaughey is extremely thin in this film, so it was either during or after his extreme weight-loss for his admirable turn in Dallas Buyers Club that he shot his part.. In addition to whatever salary Scorcese promised McConaughey for talking for 10 minutes about. the benefits of cocaine and manual manipulation of certain body parts, he must have promised him unfettered access to craft services. This was actually one of the "cleanest" part of the movie I saw. There is a lot of nudity and sex in this film. Lots. I walked out of it after an hour, realizing that it wasn't going to get any better and that I don't watch porn, no matter who makes it.
A lot of people will be giving this film high marks because of who made and and who's in it, oh, and it's based on a real-life low-life. For this reason the MPAA must have thought it had some redeemable quality. They were wrong. If you do decide to go, make sure you know a good place for delousing. You'll need it.
