Eddie (Bradley Cooper) down on his luck (it's tough) stumbles upon the mother of all smart pills. Hijinks ensue.

Plot holes aplenty and deus ex machina ending aside, vaguely enjoyable. Best to think of it as a seriously- toned Brewster's Millions and it's attempt at social critique carries about as much weight as that film.

De Niro miscast.

I enjoyed it. Wasn't great, but fun still.

I don't know if De Nero was miscast as much as mis-developed. He mostly exists as Cooper's stepping stone. He could've been like a non-drug genius and represented what could be with just an iron will and ruthless attitude, but it's not really developed well.
