Dumb Money is the ultimate David vs. Goliath tale, based on the insane true story of everyday people who flipped the script on Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop (yes, the mall videogame store) into the world's hottest company. In the middle of everything is regular guy Keith Gill (Paul Dano), who starts it all by sinking his life savings into the stock and posting about it. When his social posts start blowing up, so does his life and the lives of everyone following him. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets rich -- until the billionaires fight back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside down.

Critics Consensus

Dumb Money's crowd-pleasing dramatization of real-life stock hijinks may not tell the complete story, but it's rousingly entertaining nonetheless.

Dumb Money is relatively restrained for such a wild story, but it’s an engrossing one all the same.

I could barely keep my eyes open during this unfunny snoozer packaged as a wannabe heir to Adam McKay’s 2015 film “The Big Short.”

Rated: 1.5/4

Boston Movie News

Gillespie, directing from a script by former Wall Street Journal reporters Lauren Schuker Blum and Rebecca Angelo, moves the narrative along at a good clip with his scrappy style. And it pays dividends.

Rated: B+
