The Trotsky (2009)
Boredom or Bordome
This is an indie flick that isn't very funny, the situations are contrived and I thought everything was rather dull and unimaginative. The idea for the movie was however creative and the actors sell everything very nicely....but that's exactly where it ends, if you see the first 10 minutes then you'll have seen the whole thing (wink time savers). I think they stole the idea for the movie from an episode of the Wonder Years. If you are a history buff and really enjoyed the story of Leon Trotsky in 1920's Russia then this is your movie. Lots of 3-piece suit action and walking around from the main character, constantly ruminating about unions and high school, and constantly upset with his father and lawyer. Yes, it's a wonderland of laughs! Seriously, if you have some art house friends and you want to grade actors, this comedy is great, make sure you read the Trotsky encyclopedia page first. But if you want to laugh with your roommates, put The Big Lebowski back on.
