Just when you don't think DeNiro can't go any lower...


The trailer for this pile of sh!t comes out! This film looks absolutely horrendous! Not only were all the jokes complete sh!t, but it looks like a rip-off of so many other films. DeNiro is an embarrassment.

The guy can do what he wants. I get it. The problem is, most of the stuff he has done in the last two decades has been utter garbage. Young people nowadays only seem to think he is known for the Fockers trilogy (which I find to be criminal). I just hope he gets to work on "The Irishman" with Scorsese, Pacino, Pesci and Keitel soon.

Has Robert DeNiro sold out? "Just a little bit."

Jackie Brown was his last great movie. I liked Meet the Parents and Analyze This, but De Niro wasn't the one who made them funny, Ben Stiller and Billy Crystal did that.
My favorite De Niro performances are Awakenings and The Deer Hunter, I don't know if he can ever get back to that level. Maybe The Irishman? Pacino hasn't been doing great either. His last good movie was Insomnia, although he was pretty funny in Jack & Jill lol.

I just believe he became burnt out by the early to mid-90s. The years of method acting took its toll and since he was aging he just started to not give a sh!t. I think he should be able to do whatever he wants, he worked his ass off for years giving great performances.

You have to realize that Robert De Niro is almost 73 years old. He can no longer be selective with film roles if he wants to continue to act and make a lot of movies. Obviously,there is a rarity of great film roles available for man his age.Even Jack Nicholson and Robert Redford make less movies at this time considering their age and there are less movie offers for these people. While the two guys that I have mentioned probably are happy with their movie careers, De Niro probably wants to be active in the movies.You have to realize that it won't hurt his legacy since he is already considered to be one of the all-time greats.
