Question What happened to John Cusack?

Looking at his IMDB page and he's in a bunch of crap (rated 5.0 or lower) movies and a Chinese produced movies (judging from the original titles and posters).

He was in a lot of my favorite movies from the 80s until the teens and then just seemed to disappear.

Did something happen to his career? Self inflicted?

Can’t say I’ve seen him do anything since hot tub Time Machine which was surprisingly decent

Just be sure to put on some Motley Lüe on in the background while you do it

It's one of those movies that shouldn't work but fuck it absolutely does. Cusack and Robinson are just too good.

EDIT: I just realized LaximumEffort was quoting the movie. Well, we're all dumb sometimes I guess.

Mini-Dwight Schrute's not bad in it either.

Dude my friend group had a guy that looked like him and we would always congratulate him on his performances. He hated it 😂

Dude, we had one, too. He got lasik, shaved his head and got the gym like crazy. Looks totally different.
