Product: The Fisher King [VHS] (1991)
Rating: 2.0
A few moments of truth amidst a lot of silliness.
This movie has a few poignant lessons borrowed from Arthurian legends and the Don Quixote story--but read the originals instead of wasting time on this slow-moving film that is mostly filler between a few good scenes. By the time the Jeff Bridges character broke into the castle to steal the Grail, I no longer cared if he made it or what would happen if he brought it to Robin Williams.Good performances by Jeff Bridges and Mercedes Rhuel, just wish they'd had better material to work with. Robin Williams plays the type of character we're familiar seeing him do--zany, devil-may-care, society's-opinion-be-damned guy who tries too hard to make you love him.
