My Name Is Bruce
Director: Bruce Campbell
Writer: Mark Verheiden
2007
Bruce Campbell stars as a satirical version of himself in this offbeat comedy about an ancient demon unleashed on a small town, so the town decides to call on Bruce Campbell to save them. Only trouble is, they have blurred the line between reality and fantasy, thinking Bruce is capable of doing everything he’s done in his films and has actually experienced all those horrors first hand. If that were the case, who’s better qualified to fight off an evil demon then someone who fought off the evil dead with a chainsaw for a hand? But it’s Bruce Campbell the actor that shows up, and even though he’s playing himself it’s still a character-version – it’s Bruce Campbell the actor to the max – highly satirized, dramatized and the kind of guy you would definitely not pin all your hopes on. Naturally, hilarity ensues and although I’m not a fan of Bruce Campbell films, I really enjoyed this one because it’s Campbell at his funniest, most vulnerable and most dejected. My Name Is Bruce is pure entertainment! See for yourself.
