Jon Hamm. Not a likeable or sympathetic actor.

Works for him on Mad Men.

Not so much anywhere else.

I thought his persona worked well in this. - free.ranger 17:39:22 05/19/14 (0)
It may be why he was picked for this role. He plays a dispassionate guy who's only concern is his own ass and the bottom line. Very much a Mad Men mold. The character pretty much ran in that mold until he sobered near the end. In fact he took a couple of jump starts before he finally caught on.

I think Hamm was perfect for this.
Maybe Hamm should play a high school drama teacher . . . - Billy Wonka 16:08:38 05/19/14 (0)
Oh wait, been there, done . . .

Hamm is plagued by a mono-dimensional persona that lacks expression and emotion. He was lucky to get 'Mad Men' where that works but not here.

I liked the feel-good vibe of the film but grew weary of Hamm's lack of ham--Arkin should give him lessons.
Worked on his story arc in 30 Rock where he was - Road Warrior 15:56:16 05/19/14 (0)
basically making fun of himself and vapid pretty boys. "The Bubble" was one of the best 30 minute comedies to come down the pike in a long time/
