Review of The Beaver (2011) by Sol C — 07 Sep 2012
The film was so so. In a weird way, the film kind of reminded me of Ted. The problem that I had with the film is that I felt that Mel Gibson wasn't the right actor for the film. I didn't like his beaver voice either. I think another actor like Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges, or Robin Williams could have done a much better job with the role. Also I felt the film was a bit unfocused. I was more fascinated by the Anton Yelchin storyline than the Beaver storyline.
Acting wise, Anton Yechln is great as the son of Foster and Gibson. He steals the film. Jennifer Lawrence is great in the film too. She has a great on screen chemistry with Anton. Jodie is ok as Mel's wife. I thought she did an ok job directing.
