The Rum Diary (2011)

Johnny is not funny... at least while I'm sober
3 September 2013
Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp) is a drunkard American freelance journalist in 1960's Puerto Rico. He is desperate for work, and takes a job at a local paper. Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart) is a wealthy entrepreneur. Chenault (Amber Heard) is his incredibly hot girlfriend.

Bruce Robinson directed/wrote this film based on Hunter S. Thompson's novel. What follows is an alcohol filled manic Johnny Depp and a super hot Amber Heard slinking around. I just didn't find the characters that compelling. You may want to have a drink with them, but they'd be horrible to live with. Most of the quirky wacky going-ons are just not funny... at least not while I'm sober.
