Review of My Name Is Bruce (2007) by Jens S — 28 Nov 2011
This parody on the "movie star is forced to safe the day" genre has one major problem: it uses all the plot elements it makes fun of. It's always the same: somehow the star assumes it's all an act, realizes the threat, feels and returns to safe the day.
The fact that B-movie hero Bruce Campbell makes fun of his image and adds plenty of inside jokes from his career into the mix here is very likable, of course. And some of the gags are really funny. Others are pretty lame.
Overall the film is way too predictable and silly to be fun. It feels more like a fan project than an actual motion picture. But at least a few really pretty goth kick the bucket.
