From The Lonely Island production team comes the tale of James Pope (Kyle Mooney); a man who has grown up seemingly cordoned off from the outside world, raised by Ted (Mark Hamill) and April (Jane Adams) and whose whole understanding of existence derives from the television show, Brigsby Bear. He sets out to make the movie version of his beloved show and finish the story after the series is cancelled. There are lots of moments that are so sweet and well observed in this film, you'll find yourself smiling a lot! There is a melancholic streak underneath the exterior which is really well explored aswell without having to make anything obvious for the audience. It may perhaps be a bit too quirky for some viewers and I did start to zone out about half way through because of this but it very quickly picks up again due to the lovely performances and I quickly realised I really cared about what happened to the characters! Very much recommended if you're interested in the premise, to see some mastery at work from the vocal talents of Mr. Hamill and an ending that will really leave you thinking!
