Review of The Polka King (2017) by M W — 18 Jan 2018
Another excellent character study type film starring Jack Black. He is an underrated actor, IMHO. This movie is funny yet poignant at the same time and clearly shows the "gray" aspect of human nature, that no one is purely good or bad.
The highpoint are the scenes about the pope. If you like films about con men, you'll enjoy this movie, though in this case you can see that this man did not set out to be con man but, through ignorance and his own delusions about his potential success with his business ventures, dug himself in deeper and deeper until he had to become one or go to jail.
Great film. But not everyone will "get" it.
