Reviews
Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
James Flood Watching this movie I found myself very interested in the fascinating story of Walt Disney, but... what an awkward production. The script, dialogue, direction, acting, all come off as sophomoric. (When acting is weak sometimes it's the fault of the direction and script, not the actors, so I'm avoiding making judgements.) Attempts at humor are cringeworthy. Hopefully this story will get the quality production it deserves.
bohorabbit My summary may be a little harsh, but it's true. The script was horrible, the acting was horrible. The thing is, I could see this being a really good movie if those two things were fixed. The cheesy script and the abhorrent line delivery made this movie impossible to finish though.
derek_hird I love Disney and joy he has brought to the world and this film fails to capture any of the magic in any form. Poor casting for Walt and Roy. Ub Iwerks had a nickname of crazy hair (in this movie) but his hair was not crazy at all. Just awful doesn't sum it up enough. I have no idea how anyone not associated with the film gave this a positive review. Even if you look past the bad casting, horrific dialogue and stiff acting and just try and focus on the actual story..... Good luck actually following it. It's like they tried to literally include every chapter of the book in summary form and ignored flow and story. It's like 2 hours of shorts put together hoping to make a feature length movie. The film is also very dark visually, it's like.... what the hell. The Flashback scene to the Elias Disney (Who was a hard-ass) are amateur hour on display. the whole things JUST AWFUL - YUCK!!!!!Also, the real Walt Disney was 5'10" but somehow the director made Thomas Nichols look like midget throughout the entire film and especially standing next to the 6'1 Jon Heder. (Is Thomas Nicols that short? if so why the hell is he playing Walt Disney?I really wanted to like this film..... BUT IT SUCKS!!! HARD!!!
mrnicklabahn This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I've never written a review before, but I felt the need to because it was so horrible. So bad, don't you dare click play on it on Netflix if that's the same way you came upon it as I did.The acting. The acting, the acting, the f******* acting is so bad. I seriously had to look up if this movie was supposed to be a satire because there's no way the acting could be this bad. I could drive to my local elementary school, grab 3 special ed children, hand them a book about Walt Disney, and they could put together a better film. I swear to god it's the worst acting I've ever seen in a movie.Now I did give it 2 stars for a reason. Because it should be labeled as a comedy. It's very DRY humor, very dry. But if you happen to be on drugs or high, I could see this movie being entertaining for you. I watched it all the way through out of boredom, and because it was kind of funny.
