The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent (Tom Gormican, April 22, 2022) Movie

The film's Nic Cage accepts a million dollars to attend the birthday party of a crime boss and Cage superfan named Javi (Pedro Pascal). "Javi has a wax statue of Nic and you think, 'Oh, it might be awkward between a film star and a fan,'" says Cage. "But they're both cinephiles, so they're having wonderful conversations about The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Paddington 2."

The cast also includes Neil Patrick Harris playing Cage's agent; Sharon Horgan and newcomer Lily Sheen as the actor's ex-wife and daughter, respectively; and Tiffany Haddish as a CIA agent.

I’ll watch anything with nic cage

 

That looks awful

 

Looks like fun

 

Can't wait

 

Hell yeah!

 

horrible

 

Looks awesome, can’t wait to check this out.

 

Can def tell from this thread who is fun and who is not

 

Eh. When Cage is unhinged due to his own choices or a wild script, it’s incredible. When it’s winking at itself, it comes across as phony. It’s like Cards Against Humanity, very forced humor. Maybe it’ll prove me wrong

 

yep, absolutely. also doesn't seem like he's entirely to blame. the writing and directing look like they were handled by first timers. very stilted.

 

If I were ranking the least fun people on this website, phaynes would certainly be top 5 least fun

 

thanks, sorry i don't like bad movies!

 

Very intersting concept.

It might just work.

 

this was pretty good/funny. not quite as self-referential as i feared, but when that does occur it's typically when things falter for a moment. pedro pascal is great

 

That last pic makes me think he could play Doc Ock

 

Multiverse of Madness cameo confirmed

 

tickets on sale now

 

that AMA was so delightful. Hearing that Spirited Away is his favorite movie makes me love him so much more.

 

I loved this. Cage and Pascal are such a good, funny team together. Just the right amount of references and a fun, goofy story that reminded of something like “Game Night.” Glad Pascal could immediately jump from the worst comedy of the year to the best.
