Middle Man

مزاحیہجرمڈرامہ

Lenny Freeman is a straight-laced old-school accountant with a dream; to become a famous stand-up comedian. The problem is he's not very funny. Not even close. When his mother dies, leaving him nothing but debt and her '53 Oldsmobile, Lenny hits the road to chase his dream in Vegas and auditioning for Monte Guy's annual "Stand-Up Stand-Off". Along the way (and against his better judgment) Lenny picks up a mysterious traveler named "Hitch" and his trip quickly turns from bad to worse when they stop at a small-town bar. Lenny jumps on stage as a warm-up act, but a run-in with a heckler leads to murder. Now with a dead body in his trunk, Lenny and Hitch are on the run. As the body count piles up, Lenny tries to free himself from his psychotic sidekick and escape to Vegas with the girl of his dreams. But Hitch won't shake so easily. They've got a contract. And the devil is in the details...literally. Not to mention the fact that all this blood and mayhem is having a strange side-effect on Lenny. It is actually improving his comedy.

Middle Man was a terrifying joy to watch. I've never laughed so much during so many dark scenes as I did while watching this film. O'Heir brilliantly delivers as an awkward wanna-be comic with a dazzling show of emotion, desperation and determination. The characters were complex and contrasting, yet the unexpected ending connects the dots in a way I would have never seen coming. The soundtrack stuck out to me more than any movie I've recently seen and perfectly complements (and sometimes comically juxtaposes) what we are seeing unfold on screen. Memorable and unique- this is an original film that I will keep coming back to.

A great film. Script is terrific. Acting is lovely. Hilarious at times. Some really memorable scenes. The IMDb rating is a real insult...but then again, look at some of the Hollywood Formula garbage that gets high ratings. Point: ignore the ridiculously low rating. This is a gem of a movie; do not miss it.

"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. The film stars Jim O'Heir, Josh McDermitt, Andrew J. West, Anne Dudek, and Tracey Walter, and is directed by Ned Crowley. I saw this film at the 52nd International Film Festival this year, and is hands down my favorite film from the festival. Jim O'Heir plays Lenny, an awkward but sweet man who seems to be stuck in the past. 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. O'Heir was hysterical as this man stuck in the middle of a crazy situation. 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. Andrew J. 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. West was just as up to par with O'Heir, and the complete contrasts of their characters really brought a unique character duo. "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. The film has such a sick sense of humor which I love. I've never laughed so hard at a man getting his head blown off or a man disposing of a dead body. Now despite this film being laugh out loud funny, it is extremely dark, especially during the last 30 minutes of the film. The film is like a cross between Martin Scorsese's "King of Comedy" (1982) and David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" (1986). 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. "Middle Man" is a very original and balls out film that never takes itself seriously and delivers one hell of a black comedy.

Ned Crowley. Wow. Directed and wrote this hysterical, ironic cautionary tale! The story, the dialogue, the directing, that acting, the production design and cinematography come across like the work of a seasoned pro! Gorgeous! And that's not even mentioning the comedy. Mr. Crowley's comedic sense is off the charts. And it's not just a wild, OMG romp!. His message is brilliant. Especially at a time where real life Hollywood drama is exposing how far people will go to achieve and maintain fame. I got my eye on Ned. I expect to be seeing a lot more from you!

Sometimes what you (think) you see is NOT what you get. Entertaining; well-worth the watch. Only 2 or 3 stretches of believablity that won't ruin anything, esp once you get into this and see where it's going. Stand by for some unexpected Bonus Points. Recommended. VM

MiddleMan is a movie that turned out to be much better than I expected. The cast doesn't consist of very well known actors but they all did a good job playing their respective characters. Jim O'Heir has that same nerdy naive look he has in the great comedy series Parks & Recreation, his character is another push over guy but this time with a twist. Good performance from him, his collaboration with the other main character played by Andrew J. West works really well. The script is well written, full of subtle twists and turns, a right amount of comedy and light gore, in other words a good job from director/writer Ned Crowley. The cinematography was of high quality, for a small budget it was way better then some high budget Hollywood productions. MiddleMan deserves definitely a higher rating on here.

There's an old joke that about something "being funny until someone gets poked in the eye. Then it's really funny." That sums up the plight of poor Lenny, played by Jim O'Heir, star of Parks and Rec. A poor sad sack who gets in deeper than he ever imagined was possible. And then, as the joke goes, it's really funny. First time director Ned Crowley has a deft hand at writing great characters and then bringing them to life. He's also managed to create a piece of film on a shoestring that looks like it cost millions.

I am a dark romance and comedy 20-plus published book author, and I stumbled upon The Middle Man (2016) while thumbing through Netflix looking for new movies to watch. The movie poster definitely caught my attention, with a CPA type man with blood all over his office attire clothing, which made me want more. Right from the start, the Middle Man delivers..entertainment in my kind of style: DARK. The plot thickens, yet does not bore, and the songs in the soundtrack, in a type of jazzy version to the classic originals, are entertaining, and soothing, to life's troubles. The choice of words in the screen play, especially with the lawyer type man in the beginning, and with the hitch hiker throughout were classic, maybe even British, in a 1950's sort of way, to match the overall theme of the movie, a sort of 1950's era character trying to survive in the now, 2016, and for a fan of "dark" anything, The Middle Man will not waste your time. In fact, Middle Man was better than my last "trip" to Las Vegas, on a stop-over to visit my dying papa, in Cali.
