Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

blakeboege-793-364602 I say it's the best movie of the year. I say this not only as a writer, but as a black man.

BoomerDT You will probably like this somewhat abstract bio of Doug Kenney, one of the founders, original writer and editor of the hilarious satirical magazine "National Lampoon." NL had a great run in the 70's, an era of terrific and edgy satirical humor. The 'Poon would spawn an entire generation of comedy that still continues, unfortunately it hasn't been done as well as most current so-called counter culture comedy primarily serves as a propaganda wing to promote a left wing agenda, while Kenney and the NL were truly equal opportunity satirists...they went after everyone.Kenney is best known for writing "Animal House" and "Caddyshack" two exceptionally creative and funny movies of the late 70's. It made him very wealthy but apparently it didn't buy happiness. It's a mostly lighthearted bio, amusing but not loaded loaded with gut busting lines and gags like the films he scripted-although they do try too hard with some scenes that are obviously preposterous BS. If you have no interest in the era or the subject matter you will probably wonder why a bio was made of such a self-indulgent and pretentiousness narcissist.

garrett_peter This movie really wasn't for me, didn't get it and if it was supposed to be funny I missed it. I'm sure it's good if it's your type of film, just wasn't for me...

adonis98-743-186503 In the 1970s and '80s, National Lampoon's success and influence creates a new media empire overseen in part by the brilliant and troubled Doug Kenney. Fans of National Lampoon won't be disappointed from this film but for someone who never found this movies masterpieces this movie was off and gross plus boring as hell. The main leads were retards and the comedic elements weren't even that funny, A Futile and Stupid Gesture is the perfect example of a January film i'm afraid. (0/10)
