9 out of 10, The funniest movie I’ve seen in a very long time. The Unbearable
Weight of Massive Talent is awesome. It features Nicholas Cage doing a
heartfelt send up of Nicholas Cage. He’s been the center of so many memes over
the years that there was rich territory to explore on this effort and they
mined it for all its worth. You have to admire him for this because 99.9% of
actors wouldn’t be secure enough to so thoroughly skewer their cinematic
personae like this. It’s also a very funny buddy flick as Cage teams up with
superfan Pedro Pascal in a kidnapping plot worthy of Cage’s Con-Air era. This
is Pascal’s best work since he was a Dornish prince. There are also some
hilarious bits where Cage interacts with a younger version of himself. I can’t
recommend this enough, Funniest movie I’ve seen in years. Cage is my new hero,
taking direct aim at Hollywood’s endemic self-importance.
MVP: Cage as Cage in all his glory
