The main problem with studios creating films is that they tend to be made by committee (I know, you're all impressed by my original insight). This results in movies that try to be everything to everybody but end up as generic works with no clear vision. I can handle a film with terribly misguided vision but one that just wanders from scene to scene with no apparent purpose? That's the worst. I just sit there thinking "Why was this made? There is no reason for this movie to exist. It's just taking up space."
As you've probably guessed, Mr. Woodcock is one such film. There's nothing particularly awful about it, it just seems completely unnecessary. Part of that is that is has no focus. This is the kind of movie that introduces a romantic interest for the lead (Got to draw in the females aged 18-49!) only to get distracted and forget about her.
Other than that? Uh, I like Amy Poehler and Ethan Suplee. I mean, in general. Not so much in this.
Watching this film reminded me that Susan Sarandon is still really attractive. Am I developing a thing for cougars?

I will never see this movie.
You probably shouldn't. I only saw it because I had a free pass.
