Well it's funny and rubbish but thats why it's funny. Of course everyone thought it was going to be about Bob Ross...it's not! Owen Wilson is excellent. The budget must have been $100 it's a very easy shoot and a simple script but that doesn't make it bad. So I liked it, it feels like an Australian Student film and that is all I want to say for this review so now I have to find two hundred and four characters to fill the void. I suppose I should mention Wendy but she really doesn't have much of a part but all of them are a good solid cast. Simple acting and Storytelling. And now finally I can stop.

I get it, the producer for this film got an idea to make a "Bob Ross movie", but then couldn't get the family's permission to do it, so we got this Bob Ross-cosplay by Owen Wilson instead. First of all, when the heck does this film take place?! They mentioned the year 1993 as being "a long time ago", yet everyone owns tvs and VCRS from the 1970's. Yet a character is also wearing "Juicy" clothing, which is definitely 2000's+, and someone mentions their cellphone. What? Again, the screenplay was probably written to be in the 1970's, but then nobody bothered to stick to it. Speaking of that, this has got to be one of the most poorly written screenplays put to film that I've ever seen. The film "cheats", constantly. The new painter falls in love with the lead's ex, but they never show a real relationship on screen at any time. The women kiss...once, and then suddenly it's a LTR? The characters themselves are incredibly unlikeable and the acting was poor. The woman with the hat couldn't speak an intelligible word the entire way through, and yet suddenly she's dating the new woman? How? Why? Nothing makes sense in this film. It's all nonsense. Avoid.

12 minutes. That was enough. Did the whole set were actually sniffing PAINT while shooting it?? I genuinely started to look for sharp objects to slice my wrists to end this torture. Tried biting tried everything. When i found myself with my house keys in hand trying to slice my throat I had to leave. Took Guy Ritchie's Covenant and few weeks to recover. This "movie" should be banned. 12 minutes. That was enough. Did the whole set were actually sniffing PAINT while shooting it??

...i am sure a lot of people will think this movie is about Bob Ross life, just like i thought so too at the beginning, but it's not. It's a Bob Ross knockoff. The main character Carl Nargle played by Owen Wilson is a fictional character based on Bob Ross, the story is fictional as well so we can say this movie is a parody. Carl Nargle has the same cloud of hair, the same whispery way of speaking, and the same job, painting quaint country vistas on public access TV, but he's not Bob Ross. I was really disappointed that they just used his character like this, he is an icon and has a lot of fans all around the world!
