This was my least liked of the film series. I did enjoy the first third of the film. But the rest felt too much like a Twilight movie. Two guys and a girl in the woods, with a tent, and jealousy between them. The forest scenes even had a blue tint reminiscent of the Twilight films. I'm sure it was only following the original story, but I found this one boring and lackluster.

With Aaron Sorkin writing and David Fincher directing, you really cannot go wrong. This film was well-paced and overall very entertaining. While some people depicted in the film claim it's entirely false, the story itself is taken from depositions in the real court cases... But as Mark says in the film, people can lie in depositions.

Emma Stone does an amazing job of making this film watchable. She will be a huge star for her efforts no doubt. On its own the film is insulting and un-funny. Nothing is fleshed out or deserving of the topics it covers. Amanda Bynes character's story has no conclusion and the main story has no point. Ultimately this film never gets anywhere or accomplishes anything, including making me laugh.

3 Stars (out of 5)

The message of the film is good (enforcing financial system abuses) and the film has some really funny jokes/performances. The way the scenes unfold feels as if we're being punk'd or played with by the filmmakers like a bad Andy Kaufman skit. The reality of this film has trouble finding it's footing in my opinion. The first 15 minutes are hilarious though.
