Paper Man (2009)
What were the marketing department doing?
Rule 1, never watch a trailer, I watched it AFTER watching the film and am seriously questioning the mental state of the head of marketing of this film. It is not a comedy, it is a character piece, a drama I guess, but NOT A COMEDY.
It's good, I liked it, for me a 7/10 is a solid film, not bad, but not a a masterpiece. The strength comes from the amazingly good acting and writing. It makes you feel stuff, including awkward, which is good, because that is what movies are supposed to do. Don't be swayed, everything in this film is deliberate, if you felt it, the director wanted you to feel it, that is what good films do.
As I said, acting and writing is superb, and it really comes together in the last act. Starts slow, but it's not boring, just hang on.
I think Captain Excellent works, I don't really know why other people think it didn't, but I never mind breaking the immersion of reality in films.
Good film, go watch if you like characters and stuff.
