I can't believe people have lowered the bar so low saying Bennifer is such a great actor and this is such a great film. It was the most contrived, off the shelf, big and dumb movie of the year. Ben's acting looks like someone acting. It's high school level at best. The story was 100% predictable. I almost shouted out each event as it was about to happen. The song placement and period set pieces were the worst part of this film. "Make sure you pan over to the Star Wars figures, and dwell on them for a long time, a little longer, and CUT!" We get it. He paid big bucks for Van Halen and a Led Zeppelin songs and they were totally wrongly placed and ran too long. (Cuz they paid big bucks for them, see?) Dance the Night Away comes on and I'm like "What? Here?" then it runs for like 10 minutes. The only good thing about the Led Zep song placement is that he put the needle on the right position of the record, though that was by the band's insistence. Ben can't act. Ben can't direct. The reason Argo won was because it glorifies the Hollywood elite and the Great Jimmy Carter.
