![]() ![]() He has a rule about not picking up hitch hikers but decides to break that rule. This movie is not very good, not very funny, and worst of all is riddled with the laziest plot holes I've ever seen. "Middle Man" is a very original and balls out film that never takes itself seriously and delivers one hell of a black comedy. After the screening of the film director Ned Crowley and Jim O'Heir came to the front and had a very cool Q&A, and I got to meet and take a picture with O'Heir as well which was super cool. ![]() The film is like a cross between Martin Scorsese's "King of Comedy" (1982) and David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" (1986). Now despite this film being laugh out loud funny, it is extremely dark, especially during the last 30 minutes of the film. I've never laughed so hard at a man getting his head blown off or a man disposing of a dead body. The film has such a sick sense of humor which I love. "Middle Man" does not pull its punches, the film keeps on bringing the comedy and every joke that was made in the film was always answered by a laugh from the audience. West was just as up to par with O'Heir, and the complete contrasts of their characters really brought a unique character duo. West (also played Garrett on The Walking Dead) plays the cool, confident, and mysterious Hitch, who tags along as Lenny's "manager" and is also a psycho killer who burns up easily in the sun. Josh McDermitt plays the character of T-Bird, the biggest A hole who's the comedic sensation at the "Yuck Stop", it was a very cool contrast from his character in The Walking Dead. O'Heir was hysterical as this man stuck in the middle of a crazy situation. He still listens to 50's comedy sitcoms on his cassette player and memorizes them line for line, he drives his old '53, and always does what his Christian mother told him. ![]() Jim O'Heir plays Lenny, an awkward but sweet man who seems to be stuck in the past. I saw this film at the 52nd International Film Festival this year, and is hands down my favorite film from the festival. West, Anne Dudek, and Tracey Walter, and is directed by Ned Crowley. The film stars Jim O'Heir, Josh McDermitt, Andrew J. "Middle Man" is about the character of Lenny, a recently unemployed man whose mother just died and now decides to chase the "American Dream" by going to Las Vegas so he can be a comedian. ![]()
