Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

CheerupSilver Very Cool!!!

Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Jackson Booth-Millard I remember seeing the DVD for this film, the title pretty much tells you what to expect, starring and directed by the star I know best as Ash from The Evil Dead trilogy, I knew this was going to be terrible, but I had to see why. Basically in the mining town of Gold Lick, Oregon, young Jeff (Taylor Sharpe) is a big fan of B-movie star Bruce Campbell, he is out with his friend Clayton (Logan Martin) to meet Big Debbie (Ariel Badenhop) and Little Debbie (Ali Akay) in the nineteenth-century cemetery. Jeff unintentionally removes a medallion off the mausoleum, unleashing the Chinese god of the dead, Guan-Di (James Peck), it kills Clayton and the girls, while Jeff flees, he panics and knows that the town needs to be saved, and he can think of only one person to help, his movie hero. Bruce Campbell is filming his latest naff looking science-fiction , blood-filled B-movie, Cave Alien II, with his drinking habits and rude nature he is not popular amongst the film crew, but his agent Mills Toddner (Ted Raimi) has promised a birthday surprise. Next thing he knows Bruce is knocked unconscious and wakes up inside the trunk of Jeff's car, Bruce assumes he is a mad stalker-like fan, he arrives in the town of Gold Lick and listens to the townspeople talk about the trouble with the ancient ghoul, he assumes this is his birthday surprise, a new movie, and despite no scripts and cameras in sight he agrees to "help". While "preparing" himself Bruce is trying to get in the good books of Jeff's mother Kelly Graham (Grace Thorsen), who initially finds his behaviour irritating, and he gears himself up in the town gun shop. Bruce joins some townspeople brave enough to venture into the woods and take on Guan- Di, he assumes it is all still just a movie, he then finds out it is all real and flees the town, a running gag is an Italian painter (Ted Raimi) constantly repaints the population sign every time someone dies, including himself. Returning to his own movie set Bruce, everyone on the set hates him, including his own dog, and his ex-wife Cheryl (The Evil Dead's Ellen Sandweiss) has a restraining order placed upon him, but the real birthday surprise does show up, a singing prostitute named Kasey (Janelle Farber). Bruce gets a call from Jeff, he informs him he is going up against Guan-Di, so Bruce goes back to Gold Lick, he is treated with contempt and tries to reconcile with Kelly, but ultimately he is back to save the town. Bruce and Jeff set up dynamite at the mausoleum, they try to lure Guan-Di inside, eventually Bruce sacrifices himself and the dynamite is blown, and the medallion is returned into the wall of the mausoleum to ease the spirit. But Guan-Di ha survived and comes out to attack, at the very last minute however, it turns out that this whole scenario is a movie, Bruce argues with Ted he doesn't want clichés, he wants a happy ending, so it is changed to Bruce marrying Kelly, and Jeff accepted into Harvard University, Bruce is pleased with this new ending, but again, this is not real, and Guan- Di appears and attacks Bruce. Also starring Ben McCain as Mayor and Timothy Patrick Quill as Frank. The whole is geared by Campbell parodying his own persona and movie roles, there are many in-jokes and spoofs based on The Evil Dead and his many other movies, but the story of the actor going against an awakened Chinese demon is silly, it hardly made me laugh, and the quality of special effects was low, the whole thing is just an awful mess, even for fans of Campbell, I would not bother with this boring and ridiculous comedy horror. Poor!

Equinox23 Sometimes in good satire it is necessary to push the limits and I really admire Bruce Campbell for not shying away from it. There are a lot of things he satirizes here: stardom, cheesy movies, fans, people who cannot tell the difference between reality and a movie - in times of 'scripted reality' it probably will grow even harder to tell. He even drags it onto a meta-level, for of course this movie and the 'reality' it presents, ie the story-line featuring Gold Lick and Guan-Di, is again fake and only real in the context of the movie. And yet I fancy, if one listens close to some dialogue, there might be some real issues hidden underneath this make-believe.

donmunk321 I loved every moment of this film! Massive horror and Campbell The storyline is pretty simple but yet something different, playing himself is a nice touch. Mocking himself and his career, even his fans is quite amusing and nice to see he's not taking himself too seriously. The monster is all right, didn't blow me away but cool enough. If you're looking for scares, try a different film it's not really a horror film even though that's where I would imagine I would find it amongst that genre in a shop, it's more like a black comedy. Quite silly at times but with lots of laugh, you would probably have to be a fan of Bruce Campbell or at least horror movies to enjoy this too its full potential, i'm not sure if it would be everyone cup of tea. The slapstick violence and cheesy one liners from Campbell with the added Ted Raimi cameos make this a great watch for the majority of horror and Campbell fans.

Kristine Bruce Campbell, the man is a god in the horror fan base. A lot of people just adore this man, he's Ash from The Evil Dead trilogy! How could you not love this guy? But even though he has a huge fan base, he isn't known by everyone. Also he is kind of a has been, it's sad how his career never really took off. So through the indie film called My Name is Bruce, we are given an unoriginal plot with some goofy jokes on the world of Bruce Campbell and what it would have been like if he really did have to face a monster.In the mining town of Goldlick, Jeff, a young fan of Bruce Campbell, and his friend Clayton go out to a cemetery to meet two girls. Jeff removes a medallion off the mausoleum, unleashing the Chinese god of the dead, Guan-Di, who kills Clayton and the girls while Jeff flees. Meanwhile, famed B movie actor Bruce Campbell is promised a birthday surprise from his agent, Mills Toddner. Bruce meets Jeff, who kidnaps Campbell and takes him to Goldlick in hopes that his hero can save the town from Guan-Di. Upon arrival, Bruce assumes it's his birthday surprise from Mills, and thinks it's all a movie, despite a lack of cameras and a script, and agrees to "help". After gearing up at Goldlick's gun shop, Bruce and many citizens of Goldlick go out into the woods to take on Guan-Di, which Bruce still thinks is part of a movie. Bruce then finds out that it's all real and flees Goldlick, angering the townspeople, upsetting Jeff who will now take on the monster himself.This movie I think was made more for the fans as there are a lot of inside jokes. I like the little inside cameos and references, but I've seen Bruce Campbell movies. I don't think if my friends saw this that they would get a lot of the movie. There are some genuine laugh out loud moments, like when Bruce sees his fans right outside his studio and he has the war veteran fan who's just being a jerk to him so Bruce just kicks the fans wheel chair down the hill. Sounds mean, but I can understand what some of these stars would like to do to the fans who have over analyzed their films or have a sick obsession with them. The jokes do get very goofy at times and there are some moments that fall flat, mostly with the side characters who fall flat.There's a love story that just feels so contrived and unreal. I know the whole film is meant to be that way, but Bruce and his number one fan's mom who hates Bruce at first randomly falls for him out of no where. I would've preferred if she stayed consistent and just gave Bruce the rejection to show that he doesn't always get the girl. Also the plot isn't exactly original as we've seen comedies before where an actor thinks that something is a movie but it's real life. It can still be funny if written well. I'm sure that the writers were looking for this movie to be a cult classic and they really put their love and effort into it, it just didn't hit that right spot. It's a good movie, but again it's more for the fans as they will understand the jokes better than the average movie buff.Personally, I still liked the movie, I got what I wanted from it. Bruce seemed to have fun with it and it's important when it looks like at least the crew had fun because the love you put into a film is what the audience could feel. I give the crew credit for trying this out, maybe Bruce will never be a huge superstar, but I think he should be grateful for some of the fan base that he has, because when you lose the stalkers, that's when you're career is really going down the drain.7/10
