- TriviaAccording to the website Puck, the real Ken Griffin - portrayed in the film by Nick Offerman - "is locked in a nasty behind-the-scenes legal battle with Sony Pictures over his depiction in Dumb Money... Griffin has hired at least two separate law firms and sent multiple threatening letters... and he's consulting with crisis P.R. people to push back aggressively on his depiction by Offerman and the filmmaking team. Griffin claims the movie 'crosses the line into the knowingly false and defamatory portrayal of Ken and Citadel Securities.'" The Puck writer concluded, "Griffin seems unaware of the Streisand Effect, but perhaps his P.R. person can explain it to him."

Featured review
GameStonks and Roaring Kitties
Let's be real, "Dumb Money" is the kind of movie where you expect Danny DeVito to pop up at any moment, yelling about stocks while waving a churro. Alas, DeVito is absent, but this rollercoaster of meme stocks, Reddit threads, and financial chaos more than makes up for it.
First off, Keith Gill, played with a delightful mix of desperation and cluelessness, embodies every person who's ever thought, "Hey, I've played Monopoly, I can totally handle the stock market." His journey from YouTube's Roaring Kitty to Wall Street's roaring headache is like watching a dog accidentally start a car - it's unexpected, slightly terrifying, but you can't look away. The way he pours his life savings into GameStop is like betting your entire life on a horse because it has a funny name. And let's face it, we've all been there.
Then there's the supporting cast - a nurse, a retail worker, and a charming lesbian couple, who collectively know as much about stocks as I do about quantum physics (i.e., nada). Watching them navigate the stock surge is like a bizarre financial Avengers, where their superpower is blind optimism. And the villains? Oh boy. The hedge fund honchos are so perfectly slimy and bewildered, you'd think they were auditioning for a spot in a cartoon. The scenes where they lose millions are a chaotic blend of schadenfreude and a stark reminder that my bank account is less Wall Street, more Sesame Street.
The climax is a mess of panic selling, Reddit drama, and Robinhood playing the role of that friend who says they're five minutes away when they haven't even left home. The congressional hearing is the cherry on top, a symphony of suits and ties trying to explain the internet to other suits and ties. It's like watching your grandpa use a smartphone - painful but hilarious.
In the end, "Dumb Money" is less about finance and more about the absurdity of hope, greed, and the internet coming together to create a storm that not even the weatherman saw coming. It's funny, it's heartwarming, and it's a gentle reminder that maybe, just maybe, the real stock market was the friends we made along the way. Or something like that.
