Truth be told, I would’ve had the review up sooner if not for the fact that when I was Runner Runner, I fell asleep during the movie. Not because of being sleep depraved or having narcolepsy, no, it’s because the movie was boring me so much, my brain decided it would be better to pay $10.75 just to take a nap. But when you’re writing a review, its best to see the whole movie…or so I’ve been told. The bad part is, I had to pay and watch Runner Runner again (I may also have the distinct pleasure of being the only person in America to have seen this movie twice). So if you haven’t already caught on to where I’m going with this, Runner Runner is awful…just plain awful
No one really wanted to see Justin Timberlake’s Runner Runner this weekend. In fact, that film’s stumble had us discussing around the Fandango offices how Jt can better guide his professional acting career. Our consensus? There’s hope for him yet, but he needs to pick several more projects like Joel and Ethan Coen’s Inside Llewyn Davis. Gravity might be the best movie I see this year, but Llewyn Davis is establishing its place as the movie I’m most going to love with all of my heart simply because it speaks to all of the warm, relatable and slightly damaged elements I look for in off-kilter stories.
Over the weekend, Justin Timberlake's latest film, Runner Runner, hit theaters. You may know it as the film in which he says, "Those are crocodiles," while staring at crocodiles. It did not do great. Today, Variety published an op ed titled, "Why Justin Timberlake Should Stop Acting." In it, Runner Runner was deemed a "a spectacular box office flop" and J.T.'s acting in it was described as, "A lost celebrity hosting Saturday Night Live who can't find the teleprompter." The piece concludes, "An artist who can rock the [Vmas] like Timberlake doesn't need a second mediocre career." While we wait for Mila Kunis to verbally bitch slap the Variety writer
