Wow
another fun movie of Writer/Director Michel Gondry! It attempts to reach out with a very subtle message. Gondry is again calling the shots for his creatively alluring visual style, never to cease his manipulation of mise en scène! And I love it! Indeed, this film is inspiring for the creative minds of America! With the story's delightfully charming and fun characters, and with very memorable one-liners zinging away throughout the simple tale, Gondry brings the audience a sweet and warm-hearted fable to salute America's creative talents.
The charmingly comedic cast ensemble, Jack Black, Mos Def, Danny Glover, Paul Dinello, etc., including Mia Farrow and Sigourney Weave, collaborate with Gondry very successfully to field up the loony razzmatazz about the inventive fun of "Sweding" films.
Boy, did I enjoy following Jerry's journey into his new career! Jack Black is such a natural comedian! Boy, did I have any doubt that Jerry and Mike would pull off their manipulation! Nope. And, you can bet that my heart warmed to the uncanny goodwill and appreciation, exhibited by those common-folks of their little community's heritage. Good or bad, the folks of Passaic are proud of their 'native' talents. And that's so emotionally touching! The story bubbles with so much creative hullabaloo, liv, and energized spirit. Hhhmh, the film even has Sigourney Weaver's Ms. Lawson a spoil-sport villain out to make life miserable for all? Just to watch films, like Back to the Future, Robocop, Rush Hour 2, Driving Miss Daisy, King Kong, Ghostbusters and 2001: A Space Odyssey being revamped by goons for loons is worth paying the price of a regular tix to watch this film! Michel Gondry and his cast of actors are giving the audience a treasure trove of spontaneity, creativity, playfulness, fun, laughter and tears. Oh yes, their film does put a test to the audience's tear-ducts, especially toward the close of the film.
Gondry's film is bound to delight those with dreams of making movies. It's also a film that appreciates the passion of refreshingly new talents. But will it serve to remind film institutes, promoters, and sponsors not to neglect their objectives in inspiring and encouraging creative new talents? I should hope so. As Gondry's film does suggest, creative minds do inspire and spark off creative juices to flow in every walk of life! Yep, this is absolutely an uncanny and ingenious fable presented in all good humor and in a pleasantly unique avant-guard dynamo-style to make it memorable. Call it a mock doc within a mock doc if you wish, but it sure will remind us that small-budgeted, homegrown indie films can sell just as well as big Hollywood blockbusters.
