MOONWALKERS (Theatrical Release USA 2015)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.2|5.0 Starsìììì


Moonwalkers—
an adult comedy starring Rupert Grint, Ron Pearlman, and Robert Sheehan—takes a French view of the difficulty of merging artistic aspiration with factual presentation within the movie making industry. The comical clash of these two conflicting ideologies takes the audience on a quite good, tongue-in-cheek tour of Hollywood at its lowest and at its highest. The movie does not appeal to the broader audience due to its focus on a distinctive art noveau presentation that acts by bouncing the audience from side to side while making it difficult to find a non-slippery slope to just sit and enjoy the show.
