When I saw the trailer for this in theaters right before seeing Inception, I groaned.

The premise and story of this movie looks really lame and predictable.

Also, it seems like it’s going to be like that movie 21 (based off of a ‘true story’) - everything is over-dramatized and fictionalized to the extreme, because the original story was kind of lame, and random romantic sub-plots in addition to gratuitous shots of melon-breasted bimbos prancing around with the protagonist are a virtual certainty.

It seems extremely lame, Facebook jokes are already dated, and the primary appeal seems to be America’s obsession with fame and celebrity, and “take a look at how this mega-rich dude lives, feel inadequate, and buy the products we are advertising to fix it” mentality prevalent in this country. I could be wrong but it looks LAAAAAME.

The fact that fight club guy is directing it is the only thing that is promising. But what else has he done lately?
