My Name is Bruce feels like it misses more than it hits, but the hits are so damn good.
Most of the movie's punchlines are used up early on. It makes the start of the movie absolutely brilliant, but leaves you feeling shortchanged during the latter parts.
It's just far too cheesy for its own good. When everyone first heard of this project, we thought it would be Evil Dead 4. There is near enough no mention of Bruce being mistaken for his character of Ash (from Evil Dead) as the summary misleads. I have to question the director and writer's ability. Like the movie in general, they are hit and miss. Yet Bruce Campbell is wonderful as always.
You should still watch it, for it's a solid and original comedy. But it could have been so much better... 7/10
