More Fun than You Should be Able to Have in 90 Minutes
27 August 2022
We Love You, Sally Carmichael is hilarious, outrageous, heartfelt. The first half is funny in an uncomfortable kind of way, and the last half more than delivers. I couldn't stop laughing. I nearly fell out of my chair during the final interview he gives. More fun than you should be able to have in an hour and a half. It's got everything, nerdy failed author who becomes best selling pseudonymous sell-out and hates it, smarmy publishers, one considerably crazy actor, and a bunch of normal people who actually like Simon.

Watch carefully and you'll see that despite Simon's hatred and disgust at his alter ego, ordinary people's lives have been altered for the better by what he considers total schlock.

My only question is how did Christopher Gorham go from nerdy Jake Foley in Jake 2.0 to badass blind hunk Augie Anderson in Covert Affairs and back to nerdy Simon Heath/Sally Carmichael in a few short years. That's some special acting.

Find this movie! Watch this movie!

BTW I should also call out for approval director Christopher Gorham's very effective use of texting. He doesn't try to display a screenshot of the phone. It's always too hard to read those. Instead he just overlays the relevant text responses in a cartoon-like bubble. Best way of handling this type of thing that I've seen.
