Critic Reviews of "A Futile and Stupid Gesture"
Detroit NewsJanuary 26, 2018Kenney and Beard are friends and business partners who experience the ups and downs of their creative partnership, but like many things in "A Futile and Stupid Gesture," their relationship feels like a glossy version of the truth.
AV ClubJanuary 25, 2018While Wain has developed an immunity to the biopic's blustery pretension, he's not so wary of the form's more superficial shortcomings.
VarietyJanuary 25, 2018The only aspect of it that I found I could focus on with even a modicum of interest was Will Forte's sideburns.
Los Angeles TimesJanuary 25, 2018"Futile" lies haphazardly between funny and not, as comedies about comedy tend to do.
New York Magazine/VultureJanuary 25, 2018An impishly meta cartoon that manages to squeeze in some serious themes - although I'm not sure it leaves you with more than a desire to read (or reread) Kenney's most famous Lampoon works.
Chicago Sun-TimesJanuary 25, 2018Forte captures Kenney's deadpan comedic insanity and his wry humor, but also conveys the sense of melancholy and emotional restlessness plaguing Doug.
Cultured VulturesJanuary 26, 2018A Futile and Stupid Gesture does right by the late genius of Doug Kenney.
IGN MoviesJanuary 25, 2018It's to A Futile and Stupid Gesture's credit that it manages to have a widespread appeal, and will likely be an enjoyable viewing experience for both those already interested in the history of comedy and those who may know next-to-nothing about Lampoon.
Las Vegas Review-JournalJanuary 25, 2018It serves as a useful explainer to viewers who aren't comedy nerds as to why the most sought after job by Harvard grads, after doctor or lawyer, is a writing gig on "The Simpsons."
ColliderJanuary 25, 2018David Wain has made the hilarious and irreverent movie that National Lampoon deserves.
Birth.Movies.Death.January 25, 2018A conventionally raucous biopic that knows it's conventional and hopes to get away with said convention by occasionally breaking the fourth wall to goof on its deployment of these hoary tropes.
Consequence of SoundJanuary 24, 2018There's a musicality to Wain's direction that's addicting, and the emotional punch in the final five minutes proves there's a future for the filmmaker that goes way beyond the yucks. In that respect, A Futile and Stupid Gesture is anything but that.
