"The End of the Tour" -- Reviewed on Metacritic (6/10) and Rotten Tomatoes (***)

Despite excellent performances by Jesse Eisenberg and Jason Segel (a deserving awards contender, to be sure) and great chemistry between them, there's not much else going on here. There's a lot of talking that tries to come across as substantive, but the writing ultimately falls short, and the overall narrative fails to significantly enlighten viewers about its central character. It's as if the audience is waiting for a payoff that never comes. Perhaps those familiar with the protagonist's work will get more out of this offering, but, for those unacquainted with the material, the result is largely unsatisfying.… Expand

I imagine the book read better as the entire worth of this movie is in the dialogue from David Foster Wallace.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this was kinda fun. it was as good as it could be for a movie about writers without actually talking about what the writers had written about. Aside from Segals characters bout of jealousy this movie actually seems kinda smart. There were some clever movie tricks in there and i think that it would have been shocking to see that the two lead characters shared a gay experience. Jesse Eisenbergs best thing yet cept for when he told that whore interviewer that she was carrot top. it was also nice to see the office space guy in a role of being the douche that he seems. I thought i was going to like this less than a 4 for sure. i may even look and see who the director was.… Expand

Interesting in talk but failed in execution, a pity because I really expected a whole lot more, especially because of its protagonists.
I do not recommend it.
