Amazon.com: Cult film and TV star Bruce Campbell (Burn Notice) lampoons his own B-movie legacy with My Name is Bruce, an agreeably goofy horror-comedy which pits him--well, a version of him, anyway--against a malevolent Asian spirit in order to save a die-hard fan. Campbell also directed Bruce, and brings a loose, kitchen-sink vibe to the proceedings, which has teenager and die-hard Bruce Campbell fan Jeff (Taylor Sharp) kidnap his idol in order to save his small town from an ancient Chinese demon. Unfortunately, the movie Bruce Campbell is a broken-down, booze-swilling reprobate who lacks even an ounce of the insouciant charm of his screen persona in Evil Dead 2 or the Hercules series, and proves woefully inadequate in dispelling the monster. But as films ranging from Cat Ballou and My Favorite Year to Galaxy Quest and Three Amigos! have proven, the unwavering belief of a fan can bring out the hero in even the worst heel, and Bruce rises to the occasion in the picture's final third. Obviously, Bruce is slated towards fans of Campbell's eccentric screen c.v., and aficionados will undoubtedly appreciate the endless slew of nods to his previous films, as well as cameos by many of his co-stars, including Ted Raimi in multiple roles (one of which is a Chinese gentleman that gives Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany's a run for his money in the stereotype department). Campbell himself remains the movie's chief selling point; his knack for physical humor (read: self-abuse) and pulpy line readings have lost none of their charm, which does much to override some of the flick's flotilla of stale gags. Campbell's sense of humor is also given free reign on the commentary track, which he shares with producer Mike Richardson; the DVD, which comes with a 24-page comic book adaptation from Dark Horse, also includes an amusing making-of featurette, as well as a spoofy tell-all mockumentary on the "real" Bruce Campbell, and a trailer for the atrocious film-within-a-film, Cavealien 2. -- Paul Gaita
Awesome film. ^ This is an awesome movie from the greatest actor of all time Bruce Campbell. The acting is excellent, the laughs are great and Bruce Campbell is flawless. The story is cool, the monster is cool, the effects are awesome and like for me this is my favorite Bruce Campbell film since Army Of Darkness. We need more movies like this from Bruce, awesome job!!!
Too FUNNY!!! ^ If you're at least familiar with his Evil Dead and Spider-Man work you're going to get pretty much every joke in this film. It's so funny I almost choked from laughing!
The worst at it's best? ^ For what this movie is (a VERY VERY low budget campy horror film)it's great! Bruce Campbell camps himself! Watch the film, you struggle through a scene or two, but hey, what do you want? Then watch the bonus features. They're a riot!
B-Movie as in Bruce Campbell Movie ^ Bruce has always done great cult classic movies as in the case of the evil dead trilogy, and "My Name Is Bruce" is another. You'll laugh your butt off if your a Bruce Campbell fan or a B-Movie fan in general, thought this film isn't as good as his Elvis Presley role in Bubba Ho-Tep, it is right up there with all of his other work like "Man With A Screaming Brain" (2005), As a film that will always have a cult following, check it out if you love Bruce or B-Movie's, but if you was not a fan of "Bubba Ho-Tep" (2002), then don't bother watching this.
Not what I expected ^ Bruce Campbell is one of the most talented actors around always with a comic edge, but this was a let down.
