Movie Review: The Best and the Brightest

     I'm not one to watch romantic and non-action movies, but this one was interesting because it had an interesting twist. Peter Serafinowicz(Clark Janowitz) was the star of the movie in my opinion, because he provided the role that allowed for a plot twist. Without him it would have been a romantic movie, with nothing of any interest.
     The acting by the supporting characters in The Player (Christopher Mcdonald) and Katharine Heilmann (Jenna Stern) were amazing and helped stimulate the movie. Neil Patrick Harris played a minor role as one of the major characters, showing his ability to play various roles, and show his acting talent that millions enjoy.
      One of the major problems with the movie was the stereotyping. it is an extremely racist movie. Full of white people in all the major parts, with the prostitute played by a Latino, and the bouncer, and a towel holder at the strip club played by a black man. This was the major problem with this movie, since I could not understand the reason for it being a movie about the "best and the brightest" and speaking only of white people.

     The acting for this movies gets it to a 5/10 on my scale, the plot and interesting part bumps it to a 7, but because of the race issue it drops back down to a 4.5/10. This isn't a bad rating for movies of this type, but could have easily been better.
