$490 gross worldwide box office


Is that a typo, or a new record?

I did enjoy the movie for the acting of Theo, who maybe wasn't acting at all, but that's okay, and André De Shields as Mr. Sweet. De Shields had the best lines, and Theo delivered his message in simple language that made it powerful. Those two made the film enjoyable, to me anyway. And of course, the message, powerful though a bit obvious, that consumerism, greed, and global warming were leading the earth to destruction.

As for laughs, it was billed as a comedy/drama, but it wasn't that funny. I suppose the character of Tyler, the doofus who was always eating whatever he could get his hands on, was put in for laughs, but there were none. Dakota Johnson as Chloe, one of the two main characters, didn't have much going for her, comedy or acting wise. I kept wondering when she was going to wash her face, and where she kept getting these outfits, a bit worn, but still improbable for a street person.

Hate to end on a down note, so I'll repeat: I enjoyed it for reasons previously stated.
