The overstuffed with celebrities comedy often suffers from not being all that funny, often due to casting leads that aren't that funny. This has its moments but mostly falls flat, due to a combination of cynicism and rage never really feeling very grounded - Dicaprio is our apparent lead but he's never very endearing. There's a couple of decent moments including a signature weird Mark Rylance performance, Care Blanchett being a botoxed Dorothy Parker type and Challumet being quite endearingly weird, and the pay-off tag is delightful but ultimately the film wants to be directed by Armando Ianucci or Chris Morris
