    Telling a complex subject in a creative way with dynamite performances and a sense of fun and outrage at the same time. How many of your movies have done that!?

    Awesome cast, a internal view of what was happening before the markets started to fail. Unbelievable story and sad that gov't allowed this to get ad bad as it did.

    Personally went through losing my home after the recession so this film really uncovered how the system works in loopholes and hope home owners don't educate themselves to avoid a disaster.

    Although riddled with dozens of funny scenes, this true story tragedy well deserved its Oscar nomination and is a great film. Like the book, this is a great film.

    A follow-up to Martin Scorsese's film which is quite fascinating to watch. Makes you wonder how those wall street financial wiz were never prosecuted. Go Bernie!

    An excellent movie that actually explains the 2008 financial crisis and demonstrates how it got out of control. The language is a little over the top and some of the drama is unnecessary.

    If you haven't seen this, you should. And if you aren't angry after seeing it, you weren't paying attention. Language can be coarse, but it's a great watch.

    Give credit to the film makers and actors for making a subject as confusing and potentially boring as the housing collapse interesting and funny. Picture and sound are excellent.

    This movie was excellent. The movie depicted the fallout of the housing market and how big banks profited from duping Americans and expecting a bell out

    I don't know how Adam McKay managed to make the financial meltdown of the early 21st century so compelling but he succeeded in spades. A must-see.

    An eyeopening view into the credit and housing bubble collapse and how it was done. Surprisingly humorous for an outrageous event. Very well crafted.
