Review of Blackballed: The Bobby Dukes Story (2004) by Heath S — 05 Oct 2006

I really hate the give this movie such a tough time. I like the main guy. I did laugh a little, but mostly I just let it run while I did chores and checked in on it occasionally. Its shot cheap and the main guy is from the Dailey Show. Gondry or something is his name. I owe an apology for not knowing and he is actually pretty likable. Everyone else is sort of flat and I think they tried to film this like the Christopher Guest movies like Best in Show, Mighty Wind et al with lots of unscripted scenes.

One really scary thing about this movie is it runs forever. Way too long for a comedy and even longer for a mediocre comedy. If you've got money to burn, rent this movie and let it play in the background while you do stuff around the house. You'll get a lot done.
