Critical View |
Richard Roeper, Ebert and Roeper: Robert Downey Jr. seems to be applying for the Christopher Walken lifetime achievement award for never giving a dull performance in a movie. He puts a crazy mesmerizing spin on the role of Steven Schwimmer, a powerful critic who kils plays and ruins lives with his devastating reviews. |
2 Reasons to See It |
1. The disguise he wears to go out in public.
2. Priceless bit about a forgetful stage actor.
|
Overall |
So-so movie with unlikely character interaction is shades of One Night Stand, except with a bit more Downey and less melodrama. |
