It's not flawless, but The Big Short does an excellent job of explaining the worst economic meltdown of our time in a way the average person could understand. And yes, fourth-wall breaking turns from the likes of Selena Gomez, Margot Robbie and Anthony Bourdain actually help. The characters are excellent and the film balances humor with depressing reality. I think they tried to fit too much in - but, for the most part, a wonderful look at how corporate greed and corruption totally screw the average American.
