“The dating climate around Wall Street brought back many memories of dating in the 60’s!”
“And if you think Wall Street was tough…!”
“Although I’m about 40 years older than the target market for this film, I enjoyed it very much. The book references were all my favorites. The story, an old one was true and well told. And the Wall Street slime factor was timely. NYC location shots were all terrific.”
“A film that would be good for Lifetime TV. Too predictable, but a good topic. I agree with the director that the film would be good for a younger audience, but the treatment of the topic is too superficial.”
“Did we all meet the same vapid people when we we’re young?”
“Very predictable film.”
“Nice guys don’t always finish last! A good commentary on Wall Street and the singles scene without being in your face. Enjoyable and easy to take.”
“This film was not interesting, not compelling, not fun and not fascinating people.”
“An interesting and accurate portrait of Wall Street. So tell me why do people trust their assets to these schmoes?”
“DePietro is correct that this film, like AN EDUCATION, will have more appeal to a young audience. For those who have been there this cautionary tale is ho-hum. That said, the film was entertaining and seems like a good made for TV film. A good start for a young writer/director.”
“Very predictable. Not worth the price of a ticket. Good for made-for-TV movie. What about Daniel’s past?”
“Cute, sweet story, but very predictable. Good honor.”
“A very good film that doesn’t look or sound low budget/indy. Nice Wall Street tale, nice romance story, and the real pleasure is in the comparison of the two.”
“Good basic story, but end did not work.”
“Impressed with the writing. Some really great throw away lines. ‘Is everybody left-handed?’ Although I’ve never moved in these circles, I really believed these folks doing this kind of stuff day to day.”
“I enjoyed the comments by our guest. Think he’ll do well in the business. Good dialogue. Daniel looked like a young Burt Lancaster. The trading world has little to do with the financial crisis; it’s a world of its own. Well done.”
“This one seems accurate!”
“Good beginning, slow middle, a obvious and disappointing ending. Interesting character study of Wall St. wizards.”
“I liked the Wall St. scenes and the gradual unveiling of Tommy’s personality and how the personality thrives on Wall Street. At times it looks like Tommy is channeling Tom Cruise.”
“Yuppie guys are dogs. So what else is new?”
“I can only hope that there are young urban women who have book clubs and read the great novels. Nice comparison of the good guy and The Good Soldier.”
“Alexis Bledel is charming if not overwhelming on the screen, and a nice match for Bryan Greenburg, but I’m afraid I damn with faint praise.”
“A cut-above standard indy low-budget projects, helped by an insightful, well-written script, nice acting and solid production values.” Wall Street may not lose any sleep over this cinematic spanking, but a nice first film.”
