My Name is Bruce (2007)


One night, a group of kids wreck havoc on an old graveyard.  During the wreckage, they awake an ancient Chinese demon who kills anyone he comes in contact with.  The town does not know how to stop the demon, but the kid who awoke it has a plan.  He is a huge Bruce Campbell fan.  He has seen everyone of Campbell's movies. The kid thinks that the only person to stop the demon is movie action star, Bruce Campbell.  So the kid decides to kidnap Campbell and require his help.  Campbell thinks this is all a strange movie that he is acting in.  When he realizes this is all real, he runs home.  He then needs to decide if he wants to live as a coward or return to face the demon.

This has got to be one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen.  I can't believe this was ever made.  I like Bruce Campbell in the "Evil Dead" films, but this is just ridiculous.  It just doesn't make sense to me that an entire town of people would believe that an actor, who plays action heroes on film, could save them.

The ancient Chinese demon was so lame.  He beheaded a lot of people,  but then you figure out that he is the God of bean curd.  So if you are eating bean curd, he will spare your life.  This is so dumb...

This movie also has some of the worst acting I have ever seen.  I was fine with Campbell's acting since he is always over the top anyways, but the villagers were extremely bad.  I guess you have to deal with bad actors when there is such a bad film to be produced.  

Bruce Campbell must have thought this film was a brilliant idea since he not only starred in it,  but directed and produced it.  Or perhaps, this film is just a way for him to fill his ego.
