Paint Reviews
Wilson is often hilarious in the film – truly, no one else could take on this role – but 'Paint' creates a three-dimensional character in Carl and lovingly puts him through some very thoughtful paces.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 14, 2023
Ross always preached that there were no mistakes, just happy accidents. A mess like “Paint”—all broad strokes and no point—proves that he wasn’t always right.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 10, 2023
It's very awkward and wrongheaded.

There's not a lot of laughs in this movie, which might've been intentional -- but then what was the point of this film?

McAdams presents a head-scratching and tone-deaf image of the beloved 온라인카지노추천 personality. With nary a plot point in sight besides a light rivalry and an old flame, Wilson must cling for dear life to the caricatured portrait of the hapless small town hero.
| Original Score: C- | Apr 7, 2023
This could have been the setup for a terrific workplace comedy if McAdams’ script didn’t seem at every turn to blunt the edge of its own satire.

Owen Wilson proves he knows the difference between a comic actor and a comedian who acts.
| Original Score: B | Apr 7, 2023
This isn’t the comedy you may hope it is. But, like Ross, it’s appealing and comes from a good place.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 7, 2023
I appreciated not just Owen Wilson’s commitment, but the movie’s commitment to Carl as a soulful, soothing, silly artist.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2023
Give Owen Wilson’s tedious take on Bob Ross the brush-off.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 7, 2023
Mr. Wilson’s balance of enthusiasm and sorrow makes Carl Nargle as lovable as he is odd. And in its appreciation of both eccentricity and pathos, Paint is a work of art.

Paint may ultimately be just modestly amusing, but at least it understands that a palette of well-blended tones has a better chance of earning our laughs than the one-color-fits-all kind.

If movies start with their own version of a blank canvas, Paint splashes on a few pretty colors but, ultimately, proves about as exciting as watching you-know-what dry.
| Apr 6, 2023
A comedically inert parody of male privilege that’s all sight gags and very little substance.
| Apr 6, 2023
“Paint” is so haphazardly thrown together it’s painful to watch.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 5, 2023
Paint is an oddball film about an lovable oddball, and it works just enough thanks to Wilson's inspired comedic performance.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 5, 2023
Why bother having a talented actor riff on a beloved television presence so rich with meta-commentary possibilities, and ripe for mockery, if you’re just going to let the fruits of his labor die slowly on the vine?

Wilson’s portrayal of Nargle/Ross isn’t so much a performance as an impersonation. It’s a thin coat of paint, in other words, covering up some serious cracks in the storytelling.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Apr 5, 2023
“Paint” is one of those good ideas that doesn’t quite make a good movie. Until it does.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 5, 2023
Maybe all the characters are stoned. That would explain a lot.
