In this drama from 2009 an obsessed fan's encounter with his sporting hero doesn't turn out as planned.
I expected more from this. Instead of the dark drama I was hoping for I got a tale of a 30something nerd living with his Mum who's life revolves around American Football and radio talk shows pertaining to it.
It's a decent performance from Patton Oswalt in the leading role but every time I thought it was about to get interesting it didn't.
Maybe I just don't understand sports obsessives but on this evidence I wouldn't even want to try.

Like you, I don't get the obsessiveness of sports either.
ReplyDeleteI do enjoy some sports Mariah but they would never be that important to me.
ReplyDeleteI live with a massive sports fan (he watches anything with a score) and so I do get the obsessivness of it, but this movie really doesn't sound that interesting. Thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, but I think I don't like Patton Oswalt ever since I've been watching him in otherwise amazing UNITED STATES OF TARA.
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I keep reminding my partner how lucky she is that I don't watch much sports on tv!
ReplyDeleteDez, I haven't seen him in anything else but he is pretty good in this part, pity about the overall movie.
This was pretty decent. Patton Oswalt put in a good performance.
ReplyDeleteHis performance was the best thing about it Ty.
