As good as all three of them are, though, Goodman is the show stealer. He’s so creepy and threatening, and yet at the same time he appears to have literally saved their lives by getting them in the shelter. He has light moments and shows tenderness at times, but you always feel like there’s tremendous anger bubbling just below the surface. It’s great.

Age hasn’t educated Derek or Hansel, and being dumb as rocks has its payoffs. There are several times during the movie when their stupidity elicited LOLs, which isn’t all that common when watching alone.

Traveling around the world to attempt the fictitious Ozaki Eight affords cinematographer/director Ericson Core the opportunity to shoot in amazing locations.

As they proved in The Other Guys, Ferrell and Wahlberg work well together, and even though the setups aren’t as strong here they still manage to produce some laughs along the way. The back-and-forth bedtime stories about the king and step-king are among the film’s funnier moments, and they also do some decent physical bits as well.

There are excellent performances everywhere in The Big Short, highlighted by Gosling’s over-the-top caricature of Vennett — he’s given most of the best lines and also doubles as the narrator, breaking down the fourth wall in the process — and Bale’s Academy Award nominated turn as the eccentric Burry. How Bale was beaten out for the award by Mark Rylance’s one-note performance in Bridge of Spies remains a mystery to us.
