L.A. Times Critic Defends Jonah Hill Nomination

Glenn Whipp says the actor entirely deserves his Golden Globe nod for War Dogs.

The Rotten Tomatoes rating for War Dogs currently sits at 59%, which is just under the threshold for “Fresh.” That percentage is likely a lot higher than the percentage of people raising social media eyebrows in reaction to Jonah Hill’s Golden Globe nomination, who have actually seen the film.

One person who has seen the comedy-drama is LAFCA member Glenn Whipp. In a brief latimes.com reaction blurb titled “In Defense of Jonah Hill,” he reminds how much Tom Hanks liked the Hill performance in War Dogs and adds his vote:

Hill is an absolute force of nature in the film, playing a repellent arms dealer defined by self-hatred and a wheezing cackle of a laugh.
