Carry On Bob Dylan

Rating: 1/10 (27 January 2008)

I guess before Tod sat down and scripted this movie he might have been at a miss as to how to pitch it. Well I guess he went in as said to the execs, 'Well, it's gonna be a bit like the other Tod's* last film' 'Tod who? Are you gonna have the axe bit, the electric music, everyone horrified bit, the crash, the sexy other woman, the crazy English tour, the ... the ...' 'Yes I will,' Haynes says to get the money, 'Plus it's going to be a bit like a Carry On film as well.' 'The money's yours, get to work.' Great as a comedy, bad a film with any depth or anything else but big bad clumsy Hollywood ham-fisted brush strokes. Basically should have got 'Karl Howman' to play Dylan.
* Todd Solondz and erm, Palindromes.
