    How much of the movie is full of attempts at being witty/cool? The trailer makes it look like that's 90% of the film, which is what made me bored during the Big Short. But if they tone that down then I will give it a go.

      imma be honest, it's like 70% of the film. they make the jennifer lawrence character an alt girl who likes smoking big doinks and listening to 90s style hip hop(?) though they kind drop it halfway through, but bring it back again towards the end, but in a more "punk rawk" way.

        Ahh that's probably gonna be something I'll find annoying. But I am alone with time off and covid cases are going up so I'll probably end up watching it anyway.

      It doesn't really have the smirky asides that the director used in The Big Short and Vice, if that's what you mean.

        The recurring bit about the snacks was kind of good, honestly.

          That bit had Iannucci vibes, I'm sure Veep had a big influence there

        Yeah those were probably the biggest things I found annoying. I didn't watch Vice though, because both the premise seems lib and I was expecting more of those smirky asides.
