Title: Count me out
Product review: Starts slow, gets leaden. Saw this with a group of friends of various ages, none of whom found it less than annoying. I laughed out loud in an early scene where student Ben Campbell (Jim Sturgess) impresses professor Mickey Rosa (Kevin Spacey) by answering a probability question about a car and two goats behind three doors. Apparently the screenwriter and the director don't realize he got the answer exactly wrong.I'm all in favor of poetic license to make an entertainment film more interesting. And nobody takes very seriously a film or book claim of "based on a true story".But nothing about this film rewards you for the suspension of disbelief required to sit through it.
