If Heidecker's not holding a mirror up to our idiocy Borat-style, there's no mistaking the echoes in a thin-skinned, name-calling brute elbowing his way onto political center stage for the ugliest reasons.

Running only a little shorter than the average season of On Cinema At The Cinema, it's never as cringe-inducingly funny or inventive as the webseries that spawned it.

| Original Score: C+ | Oct 9, 2019

The long and circuitous narrative history of the so-called OCU weighs heavily on Eric Notarnicola's film.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 9, 2019

Prolific actor-comedian-musician Tim Heidecker may have a sizable cult following but it's doubtful he'll find many new fans with his latest effort, the tedious and laugh-free mockumentary "Mister America."

| Oct 9, 2019

Heidecker's comedy thrives in the liminal space between what's supposed to be funny and what's not, and the one thing he can't afford to do is stop to explain the joke.

| Original Score: B- | Oct 9, 2019

Mister America ambles through two overlapped realities (On Cinema's and our own) and reveals a pathos that makes its dry political comedy accessible beyond an ingrained fanbase, if not poignant.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 9, 2019

A witless, one-note political satire whose deficiencies are even more glaring when such humor feels entirely redundant to our current state of affairs.

| Oct 8, 2019

Although "Mister America" has inspired moments throughout, Tim's ignorance, insensitivity and ill-fitting tailoring aren't really good for 90 minutes of laughs.

| Oct 8, 2019

Underscores recognizable themes no less irritating in mockumentary form than they are in real life: white supremacy, miscarriages of justice, and racial disenfranchisement. But the film needs to say something about it rather than merely hold up a mirror.

The movie amounts to a few weak gags stretched out to feature length.
