I solely watched bc of Downey Jr, whom I'm a huge fan of but this was a bizarre flick. I understand how his broken down mental state was interfering with his real life and that of his stories. However after watching I found that I had more questions than answers: was his wife really unfaithful and money grabbing, who/what did the Polito & Brody characters represent, why was Katie Holmes in this, what was the point of the singing? Maybe I had to have seen the miniseries to understand but that should be the responsibility of the movie to help audiences understand.
