Well, this was definitely better than J'amie: Private School Girl, but that honestly isn't that hard. Jonah as a character had a decent amount of depth, and there were some genuinely heartwarming moments scattered throughout the six episode series. But there was little to nothing in the way of character development and the humour was very repetitive and unfortunately not very funny to begin with. Like with J'amie, there was just too much focus on a single character for the series to really work that well. Summer Heights High is still Chris Lilley at his best - three strong characters, an engaging plot, and just incredibly funny. Unfortunately he hasn't managed to even get close to it since, and whilst this was a small step in the right direction, it's something I'll have forgotten about very quickly.

The Wolf at Wall Street is an utterly awful movie and a complete waste of three hours. The movie offers absolutely nothing in terms of depth or insight beyond 'these stock brokers are bad'. There is no substance, with a plot that moves painfully slowly and characters that, by design, don't change one bit throughout the entire movie. Okay, we get the idea. These guys suck. And they will never change. And the justice system is screwed up. You could have showed us that in 5 minutes. Instead we get three hours of shallow, meaningless, repetitive, and most of all completely unfunny nothingness, with stock brokers screwing prostitutes and snorting cocaine. There is no depth here. This is nothing but cheap entertainment, and if you don't find something as shallow as what is portrayed as entertaining, then you'll be staring at your watch for three hours, wondering how time can pass so slowly. The one redeeming feature is Dicaprio's acting. A complete waste of time and money.
