If you're anything like me, you're fed up with all the generic overly polished stuff the entertainment industry is peddling nowadays. Yeah the acting is better than it used to be, and special effects came a long way, but that's not enough. The reason you can't find any movies to watch on streaming services isn't because there's something wrong with you, it's cause most of them are well made, but boring!
Lots of things can be said about "Heart of the Beholder", but certainly not that it's boring. This movie takes so many liberties with its portrayal of a story based on true events, it just keeps you entertained. It made me laugh a bunch of times, even when that definitely wasn't the director's intention. It's such a weird blend of odd story twists and good to great acting mixed with horrible soup opera stuff, I can't help but love it.
Most praise has to go to Matt Letscher. He really carries the movie as the main character and I actually cared about him. Some of his acting is downright bad, but in other parts he's surprisingly good. Honorable mention for the woman from SNL (I forgot her name), her character was quite likeable and entertaining too.
So all in all, I say it's worth a watch if you're not in the mood for anything serious. There's some surprisingly strong R-rated scenes and some dialogue that's so on the nose it's downright hilarious. Then at other times it's almost like a lifetime movie. You gotta see it to believe it.
I'll take this "bad" but entertaining movie over a "good" boring movie any day!
