Billionaire Boys Club

Now...much has been said about how Billionaire Boys Club bombed at the box office...seemingly, earning a pitiful $126 on its opening day.

Obviously, as many outlets have stated, this gargantuan 'flop' is due to the multiple allegations of sexual assault that Mr Spacey' is now facing. Nothing to do with the fact that this unnecessary re-make is just not very good. Nor, the other contributing factors...no marketing [apart from this being the last film Mr Spacey made before the onslaught of allegations], only a handful of theatres screened the film...because, it was given a concurrent premium VOD release - that alone will kill every film stone-dead at the box office! And, last but not least - the film has been available on multiple [illegal] download sites for months!

Now that we've cleared up and trashed that bit of 'fake' news...let's get back to the film! As said, Billionaire Boys Club isn't great...mainly due to the writers messing around with the source material and the director trying - and failing - to put his own spin on this greedy tale.

With a great cast of good-looking, future leading men...what's not to like? Every single character! They are all so...puerile and contemptible. Mr Spacey is the epitome of sleaze...and, Cary Elwes as Andy Warhol is hysterical...unintentionally so.

Ultimately, it comes across as a poorer man's version of The Wolf of Wall Street - where the wealth of the on-screen talent outstrips and amplifies the obvious deficiencies of the collective off-screen talent.
