6/10 but amazing makeup (or CGI?) to age the actors


I thought this was kind of meh, something I would very mildly recommend. But I was extremely impressed by how they made the characters (Barney especially) look age-appropriate for every era from 1974 to the present. Maybe that's where some of that thirty million budget went? Definitely over-budgeted for such a modest drama starring a middle aged to older schlubby guy--not sure how that got greenlit or how they expected to make the money back (they didn't, by a long shot) but hey: kudos to the makeup people or the CGI wizards in any case.

You and me both. It was the one thing that really stuck out to me, apart from Rosamund Pike.🐭
