A Review Of Better Man a.k.a. Robbie Williams is Your Monkey’s Uncle
Hey hey hey… wait… that’s a different character. My bad!
Greetings, Friends, and Lovers,
Once again, it's your boy, Michael "Mike Dynamo" Bridgett Jr. (Mm... I love a long name). I'm coming to you live and direct with a review of the movie, titled "Better Man". This is a film about the life and times of UK superstar Robbie Williams; only in this movie the hooman Robbie Williams is played by Ape Robbie Williams as if ape Robbie Williams were Hooman Robbie Williams. Follow me?
First off, I want to talk about this scandal about folks in the US not knowing who Robbie Williams is. What the hell is wrong with ya'll? Instead of Pitbull, this guy should be Mr. Worldwide because he's written worldwide banger after banger.
Millennium?
Robbie Williams
I just wanna Feel real love.
Robbie Williams
"I'm loving Angels instead?"
Robbie Williams
Rock DJ? Where in the video he's stripping in the center of a Roller Rink and strips off all his skin?
Robbie Williams!
This no-skin thing is important because one of his monkeygangers in the film has no skin as well. Statesiders need to stop lying like they don't know who Robbie Williams is. He’s the guy your girlfriend wishes you were.
Robbie was also part of the British pop sensation Take That and has been famous since he was 15 years old. That creates one of the best lines in the movie when he says:
“When you get famous you stay at the age you were when it happened… I got famous at 15. I feel unevolved.
See... there's that big big monkey man again.
My opinion of Better Man is that it reaches the level of musical masterpieces currently occupied by 1984's Footloose starring Kevin Bacon. It’s how Robbie Williams sees himself - as a monkey who wants you to let him entertain you.
This biopic has all the best stuff about being a pop star. A missing father, star chasers, alcoholism, epic drug use, depression, and feeling like a piece of doo-doo no matter how massive you get. We've all been there, right? But Better Man also has love, singing and dancing, amazing live shows, incredible filmmaking, and Oasis.
Sigh... and if you truly don't know who Robbie Williams is. This movie has a few naked lady chests in it as well.
So! I don't like to score movies, but if Monkey Man had one... I give it a 9.5 out of 10. I still got tears. So get up, off your duff, and check this out in the theater to help keep our local cinemas open. It's ok if you want to bring your own food... but you didn't hear that from me, Mike Dynamo.
…now f#%$ off.
That will make more sense when you see Better Man!
