Fixing Frank (2002)
4/10
Ridiculously Absurd

Warning: Spoilers
This movie was really kinda dreadful. The only reason I gave it a 4 was the middle. Frank is a moron who gets used by the other 2 characters in the movie, but tried to play himself off as strong. While this isn't the actors fault, he really isn't that great either. The two guys that play the Dr's are pretty good, but again, majorly lacking. And, unfortunately, the plot is pretty good. The story and writing are just really bad.

Once you get past the beginning of the movie, and Frank starts thinking for himself, you kinda get encouraged to finish it. But then more happens in it becomes just as absurd. Had they made Frank something other than a writer, it might have been believable. But not only can the viewer not see him as a writer, he actually never writes in the movie. And the end is ridiculous and clichéd. If you've seen Angels in Amercia Part II, then you've seen this ending, only done right.

Okay to watch if nothing else is on, but otherwise pass over.
