Movies have built on that premise for years. Countless sci-fi films. Comedies like <em>Back to School</em> and <em>21 Jump Street</em>. (The Stephen Chow franchise <em>Fight Back to School</em> may be the funniest example.) Half of the road trip movies are journeys to the past to reconcile or avenge. In a way, even a comedy like <em>No Hard Feelings</em> forces it star to confront mistakes in her past.</p> <p>And now there’s <em>The Re-Education of Molly Singer</em>, a Lionsgate comedy dumped onto digital and on-demand platforms September 29. Starring Britt Robertson as Molly, a self-destructive young lawyer working, or avoiding work, at a firm run by Brenda (Jaime Pressly), it’s the work of horror director Andy Palmer (<em>Camp Cold Brook</em>) and writers Todd Friedman and Kevin Haskins.</p> <p>Bright, broad, and only intermittently witty, <em>Re-Education</em> is like a community college version of <em>No Hard Feelings</em>. After Molly loses an important case, Brenda fires her, then offers her a job coaching her socially maladjusted son Elliott (Ty Simpkins) through his freshman year at college.</p> <p>Molly drags along her buddy Ollie (Nico Santos), gets a room in a converted firehouse, and reverts to the same drunken partying that got her fired. She also sort of fixes up Elliott with Lindsay (<em>Good Trouble</em> star Cierra Ramirez), gets him into a fraternity, does something or other with her life and dreams and goals, and successfully defends herself against charges of kidnapping.</p> <p>This last plot twist hinges on a pervert who’s been taping everything at the firehouse, and a sort of slapstick chase to get the evidence to court on time. It’s the sort of writing you’d find on the old Nickelodeon series <em>Victorious</em>, which made me wonder: who wants to watch this?</p> <p>Really, what is the audience for <em>Re-Education</em>? It’s shot like a TV sitcom or a <em>Beach Blanket Bingo</em> movie, it’s filled with worn-out stereotypes (dumb jock, horny cougar, gay buddy), it tackles issues of absolutely no interest to college students, and it’s almost never, ever funny.</p> <p>Robertson puts in a committed performance, leaning on her character’s grating personality even as it makes her less sympathetic. So does, surprisingly, Pressly, who is quick and efficient. Everyone else seems to be playing a version of a role copied from some other teen-oriented comedy.</p> <p>Slapdash, visually dull, with a nondescript soundtrack, <em>The Re-Education of Molly Singer</em> falls short on so many levels it doesn’t even qualify as fluff.</p> <p>Credits</p> <p>Director: Andy Palmer.

It was modest, unassuming, and confident, with excellent production design and cinematography and smart performances by the Wilson brothers and James Caan.</p> <p>Flash forward three decades to <em>Asteroid City</em>, a leaden, overstuffed piece of whimsy about UFOs or something in the American Southwest. Or, if you belong to a certain school of critics, a brilliant take on existential dread. Anderson, like his followers, has swallowed the hype.</p> <p>People do fall for Anderson’s affectless shtick, some over and over. Maybe it’s the kitsch, the pastels, the airless compositions, the insect-like line deliveries, the swirl of cultural allusions crowding every scene. Maybe Anderson’s followers identify as outsiders, underappreciated influencers, so-square-they’re-hipsters.</p> <p>Me? I’m tired of complicated camera movements that end up meaning nothing. Or giant sets designed to look like giant sets. Or the Tinkertoy editing. Or talented actors reduced to speeding through clotted dialogue while trying not to emote.</p> <p>I’m especially tired of Anderson’s attitude towards all this. When he played a Kinks song in <em>The Darjeeling Limited</em>, it complemented the narrative. Although weirdly out of place, it made sense. It didn’t feel ironic or snarky or cruel.</p> <p>The Western themes in <em>Asteroid City</em>, on the other hand, are treated in a manner I find downright malicious. The starchy, too-tight clothes; the campfire putdowns; the pathetic hoedown — Anderson seems to hate everything about the West, from the endless horizons to the grit-covered picnic tables. When he sticks a distorted Slim Whitman singing his big hit “Indian Love Call” in the background of people bickering, he’s condemning it the same way cultural insiders mocked it for decades. Slim’s “weird,” and aren’t you cool for noticing?</p> <p>And hey, how about all those call-outs to Warner Bros. animation? Not just the Road Runner landscapes. There’s that madcap chase, police speeding after a car, guns blazing, sirens howling, bisecting the frame and going nowhere. If you miss the joke the first time, you’ll get a few more chances to savor it because it’s an allusion! It’s punctuation! Maybe the West in that period just didn’t seem real. Maybe it was like a cartoon.</p> <p>And all that mania about aliens! With the military and everything. Maybe that affected adults trying to have relationships, you know, people like movie stars and scientists and single dads who take photographs. Maybe that all means something.</p> <p>In his best work Anderson seems attuned to adolescence, the push-and-pull of romance, the short but focused attention spans, the bewilderment over the larger world. Here the kids are snotty brats testing each other over pointless trivia.</p> <p>Not that the parents are any better. Like their kids they’re terrified of sex, they resent authority, they have no answers. Wrap that up in cotton-candy colors and splash some mean-spirited music over it and you’ve got <em>Asteroid City</em>, a black hole of a movie that sucks pleasure right out of you.</p> <p>Directed by Wes Anderson.

Once again a set of privileged folks teetering between middle and upper class deal with minor slights and aggravations that more or less work out as they (and you) think. It screened at this year’s Sundance Film Festival prior to a theatrical release on May 26.</p> <p>Holofcener has an unerring eye for foibles of the aggrieved privileged: their sense that they are not receiving the respect they deserve, that rivals are somehow gettting better treatment, that the obstacles they face are unfair. “I grew up with this strange feeling that I’m better than anyone else” is a characteristic admission.</p> <p>So don’t expect narrative or thematic surprises. Instead, you get expertly drawn sketches about the travails of modern life. No one likes where they are, what they’re doing, who they are. A client complains that her interior designer is pushing the wrong sconce, for example. People end up with the wrong earrings, wrong V-neck sweater, wrong coffee. We see a creative writing class from hell, a husband and wife in couples’ therapy from hell.</p> <p>Holofcener’s characters put up with things until they snap. In <em>Friends with Money</em>, a sexy maid outfit is the turning point for Olivia, Jennifer Anniston’s character. Here, Beth (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) overhears her husband Don (Tobias Menzies) saying that he doesn’t like the novel she wrote.</p> <p>Beth harbors her little secret until she blurts it out in a moment of pique. That unleashes a flood of other revelations. Her son is still angry about swimming lessons years earlier. Her husband resents his clients, her sister is angry about her job, her students haven’t bothered to read her work. Louis-Dreyfus been perfecting her tone deaf shtick for decades, and nothing here is a stretch for her. It’s like watching a vastly overqualified classical or jazz pianist play “Heart and Soul.”</p> <p>Contrast Louis-Dreyfus here with her performance in the middling Netflix comedy <em>You People</em>. She had funnier lines there, but her performances was broader, more frantic. Here she’s tamped down, repressed, perfectly in keeping with Holofcener’s tone.</p> <p>Holfencencer is working well-plowed but still fertile ground. Her script is at its best when it spins off on tangents. In her few moments, the wonderful Jeannie Berlin is brilliant as an elderly mother with possible memory problems. (Berlin has a small but telling bit in <em>The Fablemans</em>.) David Cross and Amber Tamblyn nail their passive-aggressive couple, and the cringes are delightful in Beth’s writing class.</p> <p>The director knows where her characters shop, what they wear, what kinds of dispiriting jobs they endure. Is that enough? Does <em>You Hurt My Feelings</em> move beyond observation to reach genuine insights? Can a well-crafted, pleasant, undemanding find a receptive audience outside the Sundance universe?</p> <p>Written & Directed by Nicole Holofcener.

Since then he’s followed a route taken by Dwayne Johnson, John Cena and, before them, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Remake some earlier action pieces (in Bautista’s case, <em>Kickboxer: Vengeance</em>), try updates of classics (<em>Final Score</em>, Bautista’s <em>Die Hard</em> in a football stadium), go international (<em>Master Z: The Ip Man Legacy</em>, directed by Yuen Woo Ping), cameo in prestige items (<em>Blade Runner 2049</em>).</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="600" height="400" src="https://www.filmlegacy.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Amazon-MY-SPY-Image-2.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-692" srcset="https://www.filmlegacy.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Amazon-MY-SPY-Image-2.jpg 600w, https://www.filmlegacy.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Amazon-MY-SPY-Image-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.filmlegacy.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Amazon-MY-SPY-Image-2-225x150.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><figcaption>Chloe Coleman and Dave Bautista in My Spy. Courtesy Amazon Studios</figcaption></figure> <p>Through them all Bautista has displayed poise, exceptional physicality, and a great sense of humor. Like Johnson, he is a living special effect, and on screen his physical presence can be overwhelming. But because Bautista is in complete control of his movements, like a dancer he is surprisingly light and graceful. At ease, even unflappable, in any situation, he can play off the effect his brooding presence has on others in ways that an earlier generation (namely Sylvester Stallone) never learned.</p> <p>What he hasn’t found is the kind of vehicle that could cement his position in the marketplace. Yes, four Marvel blockbusters, but in supporting roles (he’s almost nonexistent in <em>Avengers: Endgame</em>.) He held his own with Kumail Nanjiani in <em>Stuber</em>, on the whole a disappointing comedy despite his efforts. </p> <p>His follow-up, <em>My Spy</em>, finds him working in the same “tough guy babysitter” field as <em>Kindergarten Cop</em>, <em>The Pacifier</em>, <em>Playing with Fire</em>, and every other Dwayne Johnson release. Here he’s JJ, a CIA agent teamed with Kristen Schaal to track down plans for a nuclear weapon after a sting involving stolen plutonium goes south.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="600" height="900" src="https://www.filmlegacy.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Amazon-MY-SPY-Image-4.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-693" srcset="https://www.filmlegacy.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Amazon-MY-SPY-Image-4.jpg 600w, https://www.filmlegacy.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Amazon-MY-SPY-Image-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https://www.filmlegacy.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Amazon-MY-SPY-Image-4-100x150.jpg 100w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /></figure> <p>Their target is Kate (Parisa Fitz-Henley), the estranged wife of a Eurotrash bad guy. She lives in a low-rent Chicago apartment with her nine-year-old daughter Sophie (Chloe Coleman). It goes without saying in this genre that Sophie is precocious, insecure, something of a tech nerd, and a bullied outsider. </p> <p>You won’t be too surprised to learn that JJ is a loner too, someone with poor people skills, bullied in his own way by condescending bosses, clerks who misjudge him, and a public frightened by his bulk. Sophie finds a father figure in JJ, and she teaches him how to get in touch with his feelings.</p> <p>If director Peter Segal (who did the superfluous <em>Get Smart</em> remake) and screenwriters Jon Hoeber & Erich Hoeber wanted to humanize Bautista, they have the right tools and framework. All they needed was a little creativity, some sense that what they’re doing is new and not basic variations on every babysitter movie before them.</p> <figure class="wp-block-image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="600" height="400" src="https://www.filmlegacy.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Amazon-MY-SPY-Image-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-694" srcset="https://www.filmlegacy.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Amazon-MY-SPY-Image-1.jpg 600w, https://www.filmlegacy.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Amazon-MY-SPY-Image-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.filmlegacy.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Amazon-MY-SPY-Image-1-225x150.jpg 225w" sizes="(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px" /><figcaption>Chloe Coleman, Parisa Fitz-Henley, Dave Bautista. Courtesy Amazon Studios</figcaption></figure> <p>Sadly, <em>My Spy</em> settles for the routine (if not hackneyed) at every opportunity. Schaal, borrowing Miranda Hunt’s role from <em>Spy</em>, delivers a few cute barbs, but is mostly relegated to the sidelines. Likewise, Fitz-Henley exists solely to move the plot along. A little of Chloe Coleman goes a long way, but she is a smart, efficient performer who only plays cute when the script asks her to.</p> <p>You can sense Bautista doesn’t want to show off like some of his muscular colleagues. Even so, the screenplay downplays his talents too much. Perhaps because of <em>My Spy</em>‘s tricky demographics (kids’ film? action comedy? romantic drama?), Bautista doesn’t get to do much physically. He runs a good street chase about halfway through, but otherwise it’s strictly Hollywood heroics stuff. He’s shortchanged in the comedy department too, unless viewers will be satisfied watching him ice skate or dance.</p> <p>That doesn’t make <em>My Spy</em> a bad movie, just a disappointing one. Bautista is a much smarter, funnier, and more engaging performer on social media than here, and for me at least his liberal politics are a blessing. So I will continue to support and recommend him, just as I did with Johnson when he was laboring through <em>The Scorpion King</em> and the like. All Dave Bautista needs to become an international star is a better vehicle.</p> <p>Streaming on Amazon Prime Video starting June 26, 2020.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://www.filmlegacy.net/blog/2020/06/25/my-spy-review-dave-bautista-is-better-than-his-new-action-comedy/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
