Utter drivel - don't waste a minute on this twaddle.
I dragged myself through 4 and a bit episodes before giving up out of sheer boredom. I couldn't find any redeeming features in this snooze-fest of mediocrity and considering several cast members have appeared in far superior productions and acquitted themselves well I would have to assume they only did this for the money and had nothing better to do with themselves. You know something is really poor when the idea of several more episodes to come seems like too much of an ordeal.
Goodness knows I've watched plenty of crap in my time but this really deserved a huge raspberry!

I love, love, loved this! Casting was spot on........with one exception for me: Matthew Goode. Why on earth cast an Englishman with an unreliable American accent? Why did he play Robert Evans as an adenoidal clown? I checked old interviews with Evans and he didn't sound nasal to me so there goes that excuse. I thought he overacted throughout.
Miles Teller totally owned the screen and Juno Temple as Bettye McCartt was outstanding. The Godfather was such a seminal movie it was fascinating to get some of the inside story on how it all came about while bearing in mind that it's through the highly subjective filter of Al Ruddy. Gorgeous production values too.
It really seems to capture the atmosphere of Hollywood at that time and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
One pet peeve: Why so much/any smoking? We all know it's historically accurate but it wouldn't have damaged anything to leave it out.
I'm guessing not everyone in the film industry is immune to lung cancer.

Well I watched it all and that's 2 hours and 19 minutes of my life I'll never get back. What utter rubbish. I imagine it was supposed to be a amusingly charming caper but it was just a travesty of a movie strangled by the over-acting of the entire cast.
Why on earth did Daniel Craig of the famously frozen philtrum think that he could pull off a southern accent? Who the heck cast him?
Is Edward Norton short of cash or something? Why else would he squander his talent and reputation on this nonsense?
I don't imagine it was cheap to make but it might as well have been. Whoever bankrolled it should have donated the money to a deserving charity and not squandered it on this tripe.
