De Niro is washed up
He should stick to be a sour loser
shareI'll say. The man lost nearly all his credibility when he made Little Fockers...which he CAN be blamed for, because he was a producer too.
When comedians run out of funny, and get bitter, they try to be dramatic actors, and they usually suck, like Robin Williams. Then they hopefully commit suicide or retire.
When dramatic actors run out of pathos and have nothing left, they try to milk comedy or parody. Leslie Nielsen did a great job of that, but most of the time, like Arnold, Stallone, DeNiro, and many others, they suck.
DeNiro at this point is supporting several ex-wives and a new young one, and their kids, and seems to jump onto anything that will pay him. He is over 70, but I guess Viagra and money keep him getting laid, and that is like a drug, and he is like a junkie who needs to pay for his fix. So any crap movie will do, as long as the checks don't bounce.

I thought by now the guy would be filthy rich. If the internet is to be believed, he's worth $200M. That's not enough though, I guess.

DeNiro actually played a stand-up a long time ago in "The King of Comedy". Did a pretty decent job, too. He is perfectly suited for playing 'father-in-law' or 'retiree' roles, until he feels the urge to quit acting altogether.
