5. The Supporting Cast Is Impressive Too
As much as I would to love to continue praising DiCaprios wild performance, it would be a crime not to commend everyone else involved. DiCaprio is truly just a centerpiece for the chaotic shenanigans, playing off of some gut busting improvisational material from Jonah Hills equally deplorable Donnie character. There are scenes involving Jonah Hill with various characters that realistically could have gone on for minutes more with no one objecting; his off the cuff dialogue is that golden. I imagine his response to the introduction of Naomi Belfort (Margot Robbie) will never be forgotten, for various reasons. Matthew McConaughey as mentioned has a short stint serving as Jordans stockbroking tutor, but his character is so warped and estranged that its unfortunate he doesnt get much more screen-time. His views on achieving success seriously need to be chronicled into a separate film; its that ridiculous and hilarious. Theres also just a toppling amount of situational comedy resulting from general camaraderie between everyone at the firm. Whether its Jordans father Max (Rob Reiner) flipping out over a $26,000 dinner bill or banter between Jordans key buffoons, its hard to pinpoint a moment when there isnt something entertaining on-screen.
