You try to find all kinds of reasons for wasting time watching a movie that, in the end, you did not like. And one of them is that if the movie was someone who actually existed, then it has reasons to be boring and unpleasant because it cannot veer too much from the truth.
It is, of course, a rationalization with no grounds whatsoever. One you wake up you realize that the movie was just plain uninteresting and maybe its agenda was something else that entertaining you, like for example to give a role to Tom Hanks' son, Colin Hanks. I don't know that, it's pure speculation. Maybe I am just mean spirited because I mustered the time and effort to watch a movie that did not seem so interesting in the first place only to find out that it actually wasn't.
I can't say the people involved did not try their best. The acting was good, the dialogues witty, only the subject was nothing I would have been interested in. And movies about quirky crazy people I've seen so many that I simply can't watch a film just for that reason alone.
Bottom line: you might like it, but my bet is you won't.
