Review of The Beach Bum (2019) by B52Nuker — 06 Aug 2019
The emperors have no clothes, people - neither Harmony nor M.M. This film is a slackers' wet dream, as a total jerk - the kind of drunk at a party who thinks everything is funny, especially his own bon mots - finds fame and fortune, all the while displaying a stunning lack of talent getting there (the "poetry" is unrecognizable as such).
The (predictable) cherry on top is his self-righteous, or should I say self-conscious spurning of it all, should we somehow come to the conclusion his mad shambles has been a "sellout". If you must watch this, I suggest you pair it with Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to rinse the nasty taste from your mouth and to see how tone can make ALL the difference.
This one's a collosal dud.
