686230, Fincher's always better when he's being funny.

And this is funny.

I could gripe that certain caricatures are broader than necessary, I could gripe at the flatness of the ending (which I know is the point, but all the same), I could gripe about certain points being Spelled Out In Caps when the movie's most diabolically funny and viciously insightful moments are smaller and more clever (the first press conference is masterfully entertaining filmmaking, with the "Louder" and the smile and the parents' outstandingly written comments).

But really, I wouldn't dwell on those things, because overall it's nasty fun. Looks great, sounds great, perfectly cast all around. Excellent work, Fincher's best since Social Network (and maybe a top three film from him in my book... maybe).
