Review of Mindhorn (2016) by Brian M — 05 Sep 2017
Funny enough (the manliest man on the Isle of Man) but fairly predictable. We've seen it all before, and while it is still funny I only rarely laughed out loud. To my surprise, the lead actor isn't as much of a bastard as I had expected from the premise.
Self-obsessed sure, and a huge phony, but in his desperation for fame he really just wants to be liked. Which means that, drunken outbursts aside, he's always super nice to people. Even if he is just pursuing his own interests.
It made it a lot easier to watch him be unbearably oblivious for an hour-and-a-half since he is at least mildly sympathetic. But probably the funniest moments are simply the '80s flick parodies. It looks like something that could have existed, and that's really sad.
