The Founder

It was good enough I guess. It told the story it was supposed to tell and it didn't drag on for too long. It's pretty much the exact same "rise of the capitalist" story as the Facebook and all of those Steve Jobs films that have come out recently, which in general I don't think is a particularly good concept to make a movie around since you need a bunch of contrived situations to explain the plot points. They of course had the cut scene where you see gradually more and more McDonald's start to open one after another. Michael Keaton basically did his Jack Nicholson impression that he probably developed for talk shows, but he plays a good sleezeball, and it's nice to have an actor you're comfortable with when the main character isn't really that interesting on his own or well written. Bill Offerman was good as the McDonald who keeps getting screwed over on the phone, those were the best scenes.
