McKellar's starring turn -- along with a strong final scene -- help him save his own film from the unfortunate crap heap

The acting isn't always spot on, but the movie takes on a risky plot and succeeds for the most part.

A B

Though it has its humorous moments, this film has more of a dramatic edge to it as the titular character struggles with his fame and trying to be a child.
