The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)

Awards
- 3 wins & 24 nominations

Trivia
Nicolas Cage thought Javi was the best written character in the movie, so much so he even asked to trade parts, as he thought playing his own biggest fan was more meta than playing himself. It wasn't until Pedro Pascal was cast that Cage eventually relented.

Goofs
Javi loads the shotgun with an empty shell.

Quotes
Nick Cage: Paddington 2 is incredible.
Javi Gutierrez: I fucking told you.

Crazy credits
Nicolas Cage is credited twice in the end titles: under his own name Nicolas Cage, playing "Nick Cage", and also under the name Nicolas Kim Coppola (his real birth name), playing "Nicky".

9/10

I did not expect that!!!

It's fair to say I haven't always been the biggest fan of Nicholas Cage, but it's not the talent, it's often the film choices, similar to Michael Cain, he really has made some shockers. What this film does however is poke a little fun at his past, it's tongue in cheek, but it's a cracking movie.

It's funny, it's energetic, it zips along, there isn't a single dull moment here, you don't need to be a fan or a critic, this movie is just really worth your time.

Loaded with irony, it's plain to see that Cage has a sense of humour, this really is a winner for him.

It wasn't what I was expected, but I am so glad I went to see it, I'd really recommend it. 9/10.
