The only good thing about that is that you see just how perverse it is - you're educated on what happened (and still is happening) in the markets to bring down the economy. I have not clicked "great role models" because virtually everyone in the film is caught up in the perversity of Wall Street. This is a good conversation to have among adults about the "system" and the decisions that we make within this "system" can have bad or good consequences for us. I have clicked that this film has a "great message" because it is a cautionary tale - based on true events and the caution and education about the 2007-2010 era (which still affects us all, unless you're in the top 1% of money on this planet) is a healthy reminder that greed and ignorance have no good results. There are a couple of fleeting, short snippets of nudity - not much. It has A LOT of bad language - A LOT, but it is all character/setting driven (if that's any consolation). Steve Carrell is also a very interesting character in his dramatic role, more for the commitment to character and character arc transitions that he offers.
The educational value alone makes this film worth watching.Ĭhristian Bale's character work does not disappoint. It's a warning to all of us to not let it happen again. It's an entertaining but also serious look at how the housing crisis and global economic meltdown happened. There's some raucous drinking, plenty of strong language (mainly "f-k" and "s-t"), and glimpses of topless strippers/exotic dancers in this finance-themed dramedy, which is best suited for adults and older teens. By betting against the housing market, they managed to reap huge gains as the economy crumbled, leaving millions out of work and homeless - which might make some viewers feel pretty conflicted about rooting for them. It follows the story of several investors (played by Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt) who were among the first to spot warning signs in the real estate market that triggered the global financial meltdown of 2008. Parents need to know that The Big Short is based on the bestselling book by Michael Lewis. Some sequences show people celebrating big financial deals with liquor.ĭid you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Drinking, Drugs & Smoking in your kid's entertainment guide.
