Collateral Beauty (2016, 13%)
Another movie that informs us how to live, truly live, courtesy of characters who are afflicted with
everything. Will Smith has a dead kid, and wears a beanie. Michael Pena has handsome man cancer. Kate
Winslet is too old to have kids. Edward Norton is a cold and distant person. He’s also in this movie. The latter
three team up to oust Smith from his own company, turning to three thespians pretending to be Death, Time, and
Love. In a mawkish twist, they actually are those concepts in the flesh. Collateral Beauty is
the feel good movie from Hollywood execs numb to reality.
