The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)

Snake oil salesmen never change.

Presentation:

Martin Scorsese isnโ€™t particularly known for his humor despite most of his films having a lot of subtle dark humor. So when he strays from his usual genre to make a comedy, it must mean the script is hilarious. There are so many iconic scenes from this film that make it very quotable and memorable. The short cameo from Matthew McConaughey is the one time Iโ€™ve seen DiCaprio upstaged in that fashion. Itโ€™s a boisterous, rowdy riot with a great story to boot. Margot Robbie looked like a billion bucks in the theatre and Jonah Hill supports the soul of this movie.

Conclusion:

This is nearly a must watch film. Itโ€™s one of those films where if someone hasnโ€™t watched it, youโ€™d ask them, โ€œHow havenโ€™t seen Wolf of Wall Street??โ€. Itโ€™s a great time, a classic Scorsese script with social commentary. Normally itโ€™s powdered wigs, but itโ€™s awesome to see suits engage in this level of absurdity. More ludes!
