An entertaining story about Keith Gill’s rise.

Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The year 2020 is infamously known as the year that changed all our lives for good. Whether it was due to losing a friend or loved one or being locked up in the house for months, most of us agree that it’s the year we’re happy to forget. For Keith Gill, better known as "Roaring Kitty," his is a different story. In 2020, Gill began to publicly advocate for GameStop stock through a series of videos and on Reddit.

If you’re thinking that Gillespie’s Dumb Money is anything like Adam McKay’s 2015 feature, The Big Short, you wouldn’t be wrong. Think of this one as the feel-good, smaller version with just as many cameos and fewer intricate explanations and analogies. Alongside Dano, there’s Shailene Woodley, Pete Davidson, America Ferrera, Talia Ryder, Myha’la Herrold, and Anthony Ramos — all of whom are a part of Gill’s army of GameStop believers.

When Dumb Money doesn’t rely on our instinctual gravitation towards emotional moments, the film tends to drag. For example, it does take a while for the film to find its footing in the first act with respect to Gill’s journey. Additionally, the song selections are quite peculiar and don’t always fit the scenes in which they play. And if they do, they tend to overpower the scenes.
