Owen Wilson’s character in Paint might be named Carl Nargle, but he’s obviously based on the late coater of happy little trees PBS host Bob Ross. The comedy is written and directed by Brit McAdams and debuts in limited release this Friday. Costars include Michaela Watkins, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ciara Renée, and Stephen Root.
The review embargo has lapsed and most critics are hardly deeming it a valuable work of art. It has just a 31% score on Rotten Tomatoes. Wilson actually received an Oscar nomination over 20 years ago for co-scripting The Royal Tenenbaums with Wes Anderson.
This won’t grant him a second. Based on the mostly negative reaction, it will be easy for voters to brush this one off. My Oscar Prediction posts will continue…
