  Worth Seeing

  by SleeplessInAustin

  It's a "little" movie. I'm an Emily Blunt fan and I like John Malkovich. It was a good role for Colin Hanks. It was pleasant hour and a half.

  THE GREAT BUCK HOWARD = Very Good Entertainment

  by lugubriousthespian

  John Malkovich again proves why he is one of the most deceptively versatile actors working today. He totally immerses himself into the very enigmatic role of Buck Howard that is loosely based on the character of Kreskin, a mentalist who used to regularly appear as a guest on Johnny Carson. Very perceptive storytelling here as Tom Hanks pays homage to time nearly forgotten through a man who's career is nearly the same - all he needs is one big comeback. It also is a very nice showcase for Hanks' son Colin as the naive young road manager and Emily Blunt as possibly too-wise-for-her-years celebrity publicist. Many funny cameos by popular t.v. personalities lend a air of authenticity to the proceedings which are all about conning an audience with a bit of slight of hand and old-school razzamatazz showbiz!
