I don’t know where the name of “Movie 43” came from. If it
is the amount of talented cast used in the film? Or maybe it is the fact that
“Movie 43” should have only been 43 minutes but somehow managed to drag on for
over an hour and a half. Honestly I don’t really want or care to know at this
point.
The movie consists of 12 technical parts, but in theory only
eleven. Seeing as the main part of the movie is Dennis Quaid’s character
“Charlie Wessler” selling his idea of the perfect movie in 11 parts.
10 of these storylines are just mediocre at best, with cheap
laughs and no real point. I mean with such a great cast why couldn’t they have
made a decent movie.
This movie had the potential to be the biggest team up of
many stars since “Marvel’s Avengers” that may sound a little bold but when
using just about every movie star of the last 25 years shouldn’t greatnesses be
expected?
We did however see a powerful reunion between “Kick Ass”
stars, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and Chloë Grace Moretz. They segment entitled
“Middleschool Date” was probably the best out of the 10. Don’t worry I won’t
spoil this for our reviewers though I would be doing them a favor. (Don’t worry
there is still one more)
I use the word “best” very loosely due to the fact that it
was teenage humor; a friend said the best quote to describe this cluster of a
movie. He said, “To a bunch of 16 year-olds they would love this movie, anyone
else would hate it.” I can see why!
However as I mentioned earlier there are more or one more
part, and this more is the saving grace of this movie, which actually made it
worth reviewing. This saving grace has a name and it’s none other than Terrance
Howard.
He truly is the reason I even saw the movie, the commercial
they mostly used on television was his “inspiration” speech to his all black
basketball team, assuring them they could win their match because, “They’re
black.”
This was the only part that made sense though this could
have stood out and been It’s own clip or even a short film. If I was Howard I
would feel dishonored to be apart of the rest of the parts of the film.
The reason why this makes the most sense is because it’s the
most believe and factual. Of course in the 1950s racism was still high and of
course white people dominated most sports. All sports except for one, which is
basketball transforming Howard into a “tough guy” coach believing in his team.
Ever see “Remember the Titans” it has similar idea to this part of “Movie 43”
except more comical.
I could get into more but frankly I don’t want to, sorry
Halle Barry but I am seeing a sign. First “Catwoman” one of the worse movies of
all time and now, “Movie 43” I am not convinced.
Greatest Reviews gives “Movie 43” ½ of star out of 5. The
only reason this even registered on our scale is the fact that Terrance Howard
fought through 10 other terrible parts to make a great short to a horrible
film.
