A review by UncleJosh
Written by UncleJosh on 2018-06-11
This is a simple movie with a simple premise: A striking coal miner who loves classic Hollywood movies follows his passion to give his family a better life than coal mining.
The movie satirizes the cultural clashes all around us and focuses on the particularly strange cult of personality that infuses big motion picture Hollywood.
This is a feel-good date movie that teaches you that following your dreams doesn't get you where you think you're going but they get you where you need to be.
