Go Big or Go Home

Warning: Spoilers
The film opens by saying it is not about Ty Warner (Zach Galifianakis) but the three women who made the company who were not treated fairly by Ty. Robbie (Elizabeth Banks) started the company with him. Shelia (Sarah Snook) became his later wife and muse. Maya (Geraldine Viswanathan) was a numbers person who was able use the Internet to build the company. In spite of the movie being about them, Ty has in most frames. The film shows us how the company started and how Beanie Babies were created by a child. It was less about the bubble in the title.

The main problem of the film was it jumped back and forth in time for no particular reason other than they can. I didn't see the sense in it. Elizabeth Banks does a great job. In fact the cast saves the film from the poor script.

Guide: F-word. Implied sex. No nudity.
