Throwback to Ozark&#039;s Jason Bateman and Don&#039;t Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde featuring age-old movie that did not make it to the charts.

Remembering the Rather Forgettable Jason Bateman Movie Featuring &#8216;Don&#8217;t Worry Darling&#8217; Director Olivia Wilde

Jason Bateman in his lifetime has produced a myriad of TV shows and movies, some
of which retain their charm to this day. Some of his works like the
gut-wrenching crime thriller Ozark and all-time-favorite sitcom, Arrested
Development have made it massively through the cut, while some others did not
meet the audience’s expectations. One such of Bateman’s not-so-entertaining
movies was The Longest Week (2014) alongside the Don’t Worry Darling director,
Olivia Wilde.

Including Olivia, the movie has some other notable names in its line cast like
Billy Crudup and more. However, according to reports

even such big names in the industry could not save the indifferent script. For
many viewers, the movie tried to emulate a Woody Allen movie with its storyline
but failed miserably. The overt attempt to duplicate his approach like
pretentious narration, haughty characters, background music, etc did not fit the
bill for most. Want to know more about the movie to decide if you should give it
a try or not? Read further to find out.

WHAT IS JASON BATEMAN AND OLIVIA WILDE STARRER THE LONGEST WEEK ABOUT?

In the movie, Jason Bateman plays Conrad Valmont who after his parents split
goes broke and homeless with no grasp of reality. While his old friend Dylan
lends him a hand of support at such a tough time, Conrad makes it even worse by
falling for Dylan’s former lover Beatrice. During this time period, his ideas of
himself, his life goals, and his relationships/friendships, all come through a
drastic evolution.



As he gets in touch with his feelings and his heart, the clarity in which he
sees himself and his role in the world is somewhat mirrored in the lives of
Dylan, and Beatrice. Although the movie did not have any long-lasting effect on
the viewers, Jason Bateman and Olivia Wilde still lured romance lovers to watch
it completely. Just as a one-time watch, it did have some meaning but not enough
to warrant an afterthought with something we could dive deep into.


WHERE CAN YOU WATCH IT?

The 1 hour 26 minutes piece was directed by Peter Glanz and was produced by Yash
Raj Films’ Uday Chopra and Neda Armian. The movie is now unavailable on the
American streaming giant. After a few years of its release, it parted ways with
Netflix. However, you can still give it a try on Prime Video

or rent it from YouTube TV or Apple TV. The 2014 Rom-com drama got itself a
total of 5.4/10 IMDb [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2064968/] rating with only
10% Rotten Tomatoes.  [https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_longest_week]

Although the heady script did not meet the audience’s demand for a Jason Bateman
movie, it still has its other subtle nuances that give way to the characters.
