From NetFlix:

Michael Douglas stars as a former car dealership owner who sees his personal and professional lives take a nosedive when the repercussions of years of shady business dealings and chronic womanizing finally catch up with him. Susan Sarandon, Mary-Louise Parker, Danny DeVito and Jenna Fischer co-star in this comedic drama written and co-directed by Brian Koppelman.

Michael Douglas playing Michael Douglas is pitch perfect for this role as a man whose behavior makes me cringe with sadness. Despite the NetFlix description, this film is NOT a comedy.

Towards the end of the film his first wife, Susan Sarandon, asks him about his behavior. His explanation, if I understood correctly, attributes his attitude to a single event in the past. Even if I understood correctly his intended answer, I just don’t buy it. Any comments ?

All the acting is good, especially the really young Harvard students who eventually see through the protagonist.

For me the ending was perfect. Any wild disagreements ?
