August: Osage County

Since I began with my favorite movie, it makes sense to follow up with my least favorite movie next. When I tried to think of my least favorite movie, August: Osage County was the only movie that came to mind, and I'm sure there's been another movie that I disliked more than this, but when I saw Osage County it made such a negative impact, it's the only one I can think of now. The main component that went into me finding this movie so unpleasant, was that my mom got me to go with her by telling me this was a comedy. If you Google August: Osage County the genre description tell you that it is a Drama/Comedy. That is an out the ass lie. Nothing about this movie was funny in any way, and I enjoy dark comedy very much, but this wasn't dark, it was just Meryl Streep being blatantly rude, mean, and selfish to her family. It was sad and painful to watch everything unravel. And I wish the acting was sub-par so I could have maybe not taken it too seriously but the problem was that the acting was good; it was really good, I mean it was Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts and Benedict Cumberbatch. The cast was really good, which made it worse to watch because it was believable that these insane situations were actually happening to this poor family. I've never walked out of a movie before because why do that? Movie tickets are $11, I'm gonna stay and watch the whole thing otherwise it's a waste of money, but hypothetically, if I could have walked out of any movie I would've choose this one; it's not worth staying for the whole movie since nothing changes and everything just gets worse for everyone.
