     • The Big Short is a flashy, quick-witted, and, yes, entertaining film about the housing and banking collapse. But it might just be a little too entertaining, a little too funny for a film that's so sobering. You laugh at all the asides -- and they are funny, though perhaps not all of them were necessary -- and then feel terrible for laughing.

   Is 'the Big Short' a good book?

   • But rather than rehash familiar ground, “The Big Short” achieves a fresh and brilliant synthesis of knowing insiderism and populist incitement.
