We at TheMoviePool got the chance to check out Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close over the weekend to see if this anticipated 9/11 themed drama was worth the box office buzz, or if our fantastic readers should wait for a Redbox discount on this one.

Have you ever had that one friend that just seems to win at everything?  No, I am not addressing the friends of Charlie Sheen.  However, I am speaking of those studious individuals constantly finding themselves being out shined by the pretty, outspoken “fun girl”. Something Borrowed answers a simple question:  What do you do when your best friend steals that guy you have a mad crush on without giving you a second thought, and you find out he feels the same way about you?  You steal him back, of course!

For those who may not have heard, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is the sequel to the 1987 hit film featuring corporate power house “Gordon Gekko”.  In fact, the script opens with Gekko fresh out of jail from his insider trading charges with nothing to keep him warm at night but his never ending lust for money and power.  It is at this point we skip seven years into the future, placing us just before the economy’s collapse in 2007.  We are introduced to his daughter, Winnie, all grown up and her green energy financing guru boyfriend, Jake Moore.
