Review of Collateral Beauty (2016) by Chris W — 10 Dec 2017
Even a cast of the most accomplished screen actors of a generation can't elevate this ill-thought through attempt at a modern day fusion of A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life. The idea is charming enough and could've possibly worked if the script hadn't been so riddled with cliches, under-developed characters and an incredibly rushed conclusion.
The base material is so woefully under-developed that inevitably Collateral Beauty is a puddle-deep drama with no emotional heft. All rushed and pointless. Makes you wonder what blackmail material the director had over the cast.
