Gentlemen Broncos
Super-ultra-maxi-quirky comedy of dorks, kooks, freaks. Jared Hess, the director of Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre, out to top himself, scrapes bottom. The credits sequence of old science-fiction paperback covers creates a hospitable climate; and Jemaine Clement as the swell-headed puffy-haired author of such fiction, a relatively recognizable and realistic type (repeat: relatively), earns a few laughs; and Halley (daughter of Jules) Feiffer is as individualistic a young woman as she was in The Squid and the Whale and Margot at the Wedding. The dramatizations of an adolescent boy's fantasy novel, whether in the mind's eye or in an amateur video adaptation, are beyond beyond. With Michael Angarano, Jennifer Coolidge, Mike White, Héctor Jiménez, and Sam Rockwell. 2009.
