7/10
Not a waste of time.
6 February 2017
I watched the trailer for this years ago and put it on a list to watch eventually. It popped up on Netflix and I gave it a go. The film was worth watching; it is a lot like the trailer which is a bit of a bummer because usually I like them to go more in-depth than what's offered by a two minute trailer. The film really was about an alcoholic battling his inner demon of alcoholism while his life falls apart. So really it's if he can overcome his addiction while at the lowest point in his life. I thought the acting was great across the board. Will Ferrell's character as you can imagine, constantly drinks. He drank so much in the film to where I could almost taste the beer making me sick, but that's on a positive note because I would imagine, that was the point of the excessiveness of the lead character drinking constantly. The film holds a lot of life lessons for multiple characters and has a lot of heart. To get to the end of the film it feels like a very dark road but that's clearly intentional. I wont say the end or give any context because people should really watch the film not read it. It's worth watching at least once.
