Color Me Kubrick

I thought this movie was hilarious. It's for fans of Kubrick. Most people who are giving this bad reviews - including at least one of the actual "real" reviewers who seemingly has never seen "A Clockwork Orange" and so the reference to it goes sailing over his head! - are giving it bad reviews because I don't think they know much about the guy. The accents thing is part of the actual guy that Malkovich is playing, he's not just doing it to try something avant garde or something. There might be some homophobia in these low ratings as well, on top of the fact that Malkovich doesn't exactly play a "heroic" character. It's not a "great" movie, but I laughed, I stayed engaged, and it's only 85 minutes. Every time he tells someone he's Stanley Kubrick, the look on their faces is priceless. I'll take this any day of the week over a Marvel movie, lol.

If I didn't like John Malkovich I wouldn't bother finishing this boring movie. This was a horrible prototype of a con movie. Even though there wasn't much going on the part that was, was incredibly dull.

An intrinsically bizaare choice of movie for Malkovich about a man who allegedly pretended to be Stanley Kubrick and reaped the benefits of doing so.

A dirtball comedy about a lifelong con-artist. Catchy and quotable, and filled with sleazy whimsy.

This movie has a few funny moments, and Malkovich tries all that he can to add depth to his character. Unfortunately, the bad writing and messy direction make this movie no more than a watchable mediocrity.

An interesting story and an okay film.

So-so movie. Mostly quite dull. Details Alan Conway's impersonations of Stanley Kubrick in 1998, but every impersonation/con doesn't add anything to the previous one. It's pretty much same ole-same ole, and quite quickly. The only redeeming features are the final few scenes - quite poignant and often hilariously funny. If it wasn't for those scenes this would be a 3/10. Decent performance by John Malkovich in the lead role, though he didn't have to try too hard - seemed like every performance he has ever made. And no, this isn't strictly for Stanley Kubrick fans. I am a fan and was disappointed. The movie is about a Stanley Kubrick impersonator, not the man himself, so really has nothing to do with Stanley Kubrick himself.

Although It's Not a Very Good Picture, But It's Really Touching In Some Moments, Bryan Adams's Song Had Given That Film So Much .

It's nothing short of painful to see such a brilliant premise be made into such a bad film.

I can understand the appeal for Malkovich to play this part, being a queer con man pretending to be Kubrick & working his way through any situations but for an audience is it really interesting to watch? The character is very un-appealing, not nice at all & doesn't have an ounce of sympathy. The direction is very poor & the costumes, colors, & sets pretty cheap. It looked like a casual tv movie with a good lead actor period. In the hands of some much more talented director this story could have been a tremendous circus of a story , Malkovich should definitely be a little more careful with his choices of films.... but i guess he's at a stage where he doesn't care about anything anymore...
