    Wow, this movie is getting destroyed by the reviewers. I went in with pretty low expectations after seeing the TV series and reading some of the reviews. Yeah, the movie is far from perfect with a lack of story and character development among other things, but it provided some good laughs. I don't think I would spend money to see it in a theater, but for an HBO movie, I rather enjoyedWow, this movie is getting destroyed by the reviewers.

    This movie eventually did not get the chance to come out well. Too many cooks obviously. Too bad. Let's hope Jason gets another chance. It is incoherent and the characters never managed to become likable or
    interesting.

    It is difficult to separate The Leisure Class from "Project Greenlight," and that’s probably to the film’s benefit, since it can’t stand up on its own. It’s a farce that’s not particularly farcical, a dark comedy with little humor, a screwball caper that wants to suggest great films of yesteryear without giving its own plotting and details the attention they need to work in that style. Everything feels undercooked.

    I, meanwhile, found myself moved by the final shot...but otherwise underwhelmed.

    The Leisure Class is every bit as pinched and humorless its director.... It’s a piece of predictable hackwork.
