The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Review

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is an action comedy film. The movie is produced by Saturn Films and Burr! Productions and distributed by Lionsgate. The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is written by Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten and directed by Tom Gormican.

The story is Nick Cage has begrudgingly accepted a $1 million dollar offer to attend a super fan's birthday. Things start off simple enough, then everything gets very crazy. In order to push forward through these events, Cage must become his most iconic and beloved characters if he wants to survive this insane outcome.

Initial Reaction

I've been excited for this movie when the synopsis came out. Since then, it's appeared on my lists of most anticipated films of last year and this year. Then the trailer was released, and I realized that I just had to see this.

Cons

I've got nothing to say. Let's just move on.

Middle Ground

Near the middle of maybe more accurately the end, the movie is a little bit predictable. Even going as far as spelling things out. However I'm willing to forgive that. Because by the end you're still given a wonderful experience throughout the movie.

Pros

Now if you're a Nicolas Cage fan, this movie won't disappoint you. It's quite literally a tribute to Nicolas Cage. From both the characters he's played, or more importantly the great actor that he is. Speaking of Nicolas Cage as an actor, he's truly awesome in this. He goes through a range of emotions. From heartbroken, to comedic, to serious, to suspicious, and then just over the top insanity. What also made the movie a great watch was the humor. I laughed a lot more at this than I expected. One of my favorite comedic moments was a but involving Paddington 2. Heck, as I was writing this I was cracking up right now just thinking about. The last thing I'll praise the movie for is Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal's chemistry. The majority of the movie is just them hanging out and having a good time. Which was one of the funniest parts of the entire movie. Sure, an action sequence does come later, and while it's still entertaining, it truly was outshined by Cage and Pascal's characters being friends with one another. And you're by no means gonna be disappointed by that.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is awesome and I'm so glad I saw it. It's a great tribute to Nicolas Cage, Cage's performance was wonderful, I got a lot of good laughs, and Cage and Pascal's chemistry is truly the highlight of the movie. Yeah it gets predictable, but that can be forgiven.

My final rating is Great.

So yeah, check this out if you haven't already. Okay, that's all for me. Come back on Thursday, Apr 28th for my review of The Northman. Until then, enjoy the rest of your day.
