I watched this. How do you do spoiler tags? | So I watched this last nite. I’m a fan of Sam Rockwell and hadn’t seen this yet.

I actually used to watch the Gong Show when I was a kid. So I had an interest in this as it’s a semi documentary so to speak. Plus I love Sam Rockwell.
Sam’s performance was quite good as usual IMO, there were quite a few cameos also since it was directed by George Clooney. Drew Barrymore was her usual character, which I’m not a big fan of, but was ok here. Julia Roberts was pretty good. The story overall is a bit absurd, but that’s what the movie is. It’s good up til the CIA part as it’s telling how Chuck Barris got started and worked his way up. Then comes the absurd part which seems quite unbelievable and rushed.
Overall I gave it a 7, but that’s based mainly on Rockwell’s performance.
I’d venture to say for the average viewer who has little knowledge of who Chuck Barris was and isn’t a fan of Rockwell, it’s more like a 5.
Glad I watched tho. |
