Why did so many A-listers agree to be in it? It was so misguided and terrible.

So whats it about?

Will Smith is sad that his daughter(?) died, so he writes letters to Time, Love and Death as a way of coping.

The main plot is that he, Ed Norton, Kate Winslet and Michael Pea are partners in the company and they want to squeeze Will Smith out so they can get his shares. Basically, they get a hold of his letters and decide that he isnt fit to be a partner anymore, but instead of talking to him, they go out and hire actors to portray Love, Death and Time, have them confront Will Smith while filming it, then digitally remove the actors afterward so it looks like Will Smith is talking to himself. That way, they have definitive proof that hes crazy to show the adjudicator and have him kicked out of the company.

Its about as fun as it sounds.

I remember reading about the plot and how outlandish and sinister it was, but I didn't remember the specifics. Holy fucking christ.

Ha, I hadnt seen the trailer before. The worst part is they still go for the Oscar bait-y tone in the movie and it feels so wrong.

I actually saw this when it released and it didn't dawn on me how fucked up that would be IRL.

Oh, but don't worry! it turns out that the actors they hire are actually the avatars of Love, Death and Time all along! So they actually appeared to Will Smith in his time of need after all!

So basically the movie is a giant, pointless turd. The only thing that's notable about this movie is that the bridge at the end of the movie is used in Jigsaw to hang a body off of.

I was working a small gig at a theatre around the time that this came out, and I had to sit in on a screening. It was the worst movie I saw the entire time I worked there.

There were like three old couples and a young mother with a kid lol. I think they showed it at 10AM on a Wednesday or Saturday during the school holidays, where the cinema basically just farts some filler out for the day crowd.

That was the year after Sing came out, and it only screened in my podunk fuckin town after the new year. I also had to sit in on Middle School: The Worst Years Of My Life, Monster Trucks, Lion and A Dog's Purpose - maybe a couple more. Collateral Beauty was the worst thing I saw during my whole stint there.

The one shining pinnacle of my time at that cinema was getting to watch Logan in an empty theatre with some friends. I had to work that Saturday, and I told my friends that Logan was on - so they came to watch it, as well as like five rando walk-ins. Same 10AM showing as Collateral Beauty got. The movie was great, the viewers didn't leave a giant fucking mess, and I got to leave straight afterwards to spend time with my buds. Best Saturday ever.
