Rated The Phoenician Scheme 4/10

I was bored for most of the runtime. Didn't pull me in like The Grand Budapest Hotel. The cinematography was too over-the-top... Not every single shot has to be symmetrical. At times it felt like being frog-marched around an art gallery that I wasn't particularly interested in.

Michael Cera was great. Possibly the best role I've seen him in. I enjoyed Richard Ayoade as well, but he was in his usual lane, more-or-less. Some of the comedy was very good. Not enough of those elements to make up for everything else, though.
