Is rare to see a film that capture the attention , at sundance, cause really all they show is drama, some pretty calm comedy, not so great documentaries, more drama, dysfunctional family movies, more drama, gay love, and yes more drama. The last good movie was Napoleon Dynamite, that show a very funny and original characters, that became into a cult hit. Now this year, a very musical religion shakespearean film make it mark by doing a direct sequel play of one of the greatest story. Read the review:
Dana Marchz(Steve Coogan) was a inspirited actor appearing in commercial, and TV show (for a brief second). But when the calls stop, he move to one place where and actor least wanna be: Tucson, where he take a job as acting teacher in a local high school theater, where every play end up been based on movie, with bad review by the school paper. Is time to bring something fresh and new(sort like matrix in such) so when a new semester star, the school start to shut the art department just leaving theater, where he receive the gang banger, to who no what they say, to quiet one, Latino student. So now is up to him to teach, and show this youngin's what acting is all about, by showing them the greatest sequel play of all time, if only he can pass her alcoholic, want a baby wife Brie(Catharine Kenner), even the school who wanna shutt them down, and of course the parents. But with a little help, of a i married to a Jewish guy lawyer(Amy Poehtler), the curtain will be pull.
Steve Coogan is this year Steve Martin(with a British twist), with he's funny acting, and very offensive mouth, make us remember of a certain movie call the jerk made it so fun. Amy Poehtler is the Jewish wife, Who know what to say in any occasion, with her stardom rising theres' no reason she could very well be the blond that cannot bond(in lawyer term i mean). Hey let not forget the Latino cast, were hysterical from the silent one(that seriously she deserve the hit, for been so quiet), to the slipping a drink to the teacher, and of course the little girl that can say anything nice to the Latinos. Is great to see Elizabeth Shue back, we miss her.
The story is your typical remember the titan type, but with more offensive dialog, from the way he start writing the play, to anything that Poehtler say. The film is great with fun moment's, that not even a midnight nightmare(the movie) can make fun. I felt is was Steve that took most the gag of the film, than Yolanda getting the hit of the movie. To even the first meeting of Elizabeth. But the music is grease with some offensive word from Kevin smith make this movie more derange.
There ain't many fun films that come out from the sundance festival. But this one is the contrary, that made very well be a cult hit, so Broadway give space to the next film to go theatricaly, in such. So come on folk lets go with sexy Jesus. i did and here's my proof:
