I agree with Dave. This movie seems so smug and ill-conceived. It feels like McKay\’s in love with these characters, and thinks they\’re the coolest guys ever because they say his funny lines and \’take on\’ big business, and we should just like them because of that. However it neglects the fact that they\’re not heroes in any sense. For us normal people, a movie about clever rich people who make money from other clever rich people while spitting out \’funny\’ lines just isn\’t attractive. Who wants to see that? How will any of us, in any way relate to it? It\’s like Judd Apatow\’s movies about rich people having rich people problems (my house is only worth $1.4m! How on earth can I run my edgy record label?!). Right, rant over. Oh wait, not yet – I\’ll happily explain to you the difference between stupid and illegal if you really need it mapped out.

This trailer is hilarious. The movie\’s concept is that these men were someone "standing up for the little guy"? LOL, they were exploiting a market situation, like any other trader. They were just smart, not some kind of crusaders.
