Timothée Chalamet and Kaitlyn Dever Starred in This Adam Sandler and Jason Reitman Movie That Ran Out of Theaters at Full Speed

Jason Reitmanis one of the most fascinating filmmakers working today, as it has become almost impossible to predict the quality of his upcoming projects. Reitman showed a lot of early promise in his career, as his films Juno and Up in the Air, both earned him Academy Award nominations for Best Picture and Best Director; however, subsequent efforts of Reitman’s include the nostalgia-heavy legacy sequel Ghostbusters: Afterlife, the melodramatic romance Labor Day, and the underwhelming political thriller The Front Runner. While most of Reitman’s films have at least some intriguing components within them, Men, Women & Childrenis a tone-deaf misfire that completely fails in its attempts to say something intelligent about the Internet era. Although it's easily the worst thing that Reitman has ever made, Men, Women & Children is somewhat redeemed by the strong performances by Timothée Chalamet and Kaitlyn Dever.
