Review of Me and Orson Welles (2008) by Sol H — 20 Dec 2009
Adequate. Poorly written dialogue and fairly cliched storyline, but all carried off with reasonable panache. Zac Efron proves that he is a shite actor, through and through. Christian McKay is great as Orson Welles, albeit it somewhat hammy. His role doesn't really show any depth beyond being a spot-on impression. It was impossible for me to suspend disbelief with Orson Welles being happy with Zac Efron's character's acting because it was Zac Efron-standard (ie. awful).
Mediocrity made a bit better due to a good performance -that's basically this film in a nutshell.
Personal enjoyment: 6/10.
Actual quality as a film: 6/10.
