Outright Mental. But Really Enjoyed
I randomly chose this as I was bored and wanted to watch something. I thought it was a biopic but was pleasantly surprised by the crazy story and hilarious cast. Radcliffe is really good and shows how diverse and talented an actor he is. I found all the madcap stuff to be ridiculous but also endearingly funny. And was amazed just how many of the referenced parts were based on actual real life incidents. Radcliffes rendition of Another one gets the bus is superb and When I watched the original take on You tube. You could see where he got his inspiration and how good a job he does. A silly. Yet enjoyable movie. 7. - smits_robert - 4 May 2024
Sad I can't give a 0
What an amazing and awesome crap movie. That is another 1h45 of my life I will never get back.. we kept watching, hoping it was leading somewhere, but the reality is that it is not even based on facts (like he died, but is very much alive). For the life of me, I can't understand how an esteemed platform like IMDb seems to get raving reviews for this movie. The start was good and really looking forward to a bio-movie about a star, but it's like halfway through, every minute longer, meant more crap and stupid stuff. My only advice is to not waste your time watching this movie and watch a good one instead!
