I got really bored in the last third of the movie. I guess the first 2/3 was just too funny and too fast-paced and it couldn't sustain that fever pitch for the entire time and I wasn't interested in it when it went to goodfellas-type breakdown of empire and paranoia scenes. I'm fine with plenty of 3+ hour movies, so I don't feel like it was a problem with my attention span, I just didn't like the pacing. I would not rank this in the top 50% of Scorsese movies that I've seen, but it was certainly still good and it was sort of nice to see something so unhinged.
My parents were going to watch it cause a family friend is in a longterm relationship with one of the actresses in the movie, I hope I managed to talk them out of seeing it. I'm really glad I didn't watch it with them around.
The scene in the middle from when the quaaludes hit while Leo's on the phone to the resolution of the choking had me dying, definitely the best long comedy scene I've seen all year.
