Dumb Money is interesting, but the business political jargon can get old very quick despite the good acting!!!

What I Like:

-The story is very interesting, it is based off a true story in regards to the Game Stop short squeeze “scandal,” the way they tell that story in different perspectives made it worthwhile to see what happens and the after effects of it
-The acting was great, Paul Dano as youtube personality, Keith Gill, really showed some intellectual heart, and the rest of the cast really showed how regular investors and the effects of playing the stock market, it is interesting to see how that goes down

The So So:

-I usually have a hate fest on Pete Davidson, especially when he tries to play a Boston guy, at first he was all the stereotypes for a Boston guy which makes me hate him more, but as the movie progresses, he actually showed a lot of heart, but in a weird way that works, this train of Pete Davidson will go whether we like it or not

What I Didn’t Like:

-Any movie about the stock market will always get me lost with their conversations of business with a vocabulary that I don’t understand, it just made me lost, and I have to rely on directoral execution to help me with understanding on what’s going on, it affects the movie viewing pleasure for me no matter how much they try to explain it

Overall:

As I said before, it is an interesting film. The scandal of it all really shows how corrupt the stock market business can be with their manipulative ways. I believe that is the biggest point of this film, but getting to that point really was strain to my brain when it comes to their business political jargon it brings. It didn’t help for a person who is very ignorant to this subject matter. Regardless, the acting kept it together, and the execution of the story made not boring. It is a good watch, but you may need to do some research about this stock market crap!!!

(Sidenote: Paint – Owen Wilson is playing a somewhat fictional version of the famous TV painter, Bob Ross. I’m not sure if this was a biopic, or a dramatization about a random painter. I thought Wilson was a miscast, and the story didn’t really portray the character of Bob Ross. It just didn’t make sense to me whatsoever in what this film was trying to achieve!!!
