Review of Able Edwards (2004) by Julie F — 09 Feb 2009
It is truly a tongue-in-cheek "Citizen Kane"-ing of a futuristic Walt Disney, but so much more. The movie is low budget, but still has a high quality of image - it does not look like a home video.
More than anything it has the same feel of â??The Saddest Music in the Worldâ?? with a stationary camera. To complement the use of black and white, the movie is peppered with generic 50â??s / 60â??s archival footage that adds to the kitsch.
I appreciated that the special effects were appropriate. They did not dominate the performances and looked just cheesy enough to belong in a â??Bâ?? movie (without being able to see any strings). More than anything, it is obvious that this probable cult classic was an absolute scream to make.
