The Great Gatsby
"Paul Rudd as Nick Carraway is the only reason to press play."
A made-for-TV adaptation that treats Fitzgerald's masterwork like a Cliff's Notes assignment. Toby Stephens tries his best as Gatsby, Mira Sorvino is miscast as Daisy, and Paul Rudd as Nick Carraway is the only reason anyone remembers this exists. It has the production value of a History Channel reenactment.
you need to see Paul Rudd before he became Paul Rudd. That's it. That's the entire value proposition.
you have literally any other option. This is the Gatsby that A&E made because the rights were cheap and someone had a free Sunday. It looks like it was shot in a Marriott ballroom.
