The Beaver Trilogy

True, the trilogy is no spectacle (the way most commercialized Americans would like to see a director handle a trilogy), but that's no reason to write it off as unworthy cinema.

Of course, I'm a little biased (being a huge Crispin Glover fan), but I thought this film served a unique and ultimately wonderful purpose...but if you're not studying acting, you may not see the same study material that I do.

Sean Penn and Crispin Glover both do an amazing job inhabiting the skin of this wayfaring Olivia Newton-John enthusiast, and seeing these two progressive talents picking and choosing tidbits of personality detail from the documentary, and then adding their own experience is something that any avid cinema fan should enjoy. A look into the psyche of the actor as well as the portrayed.

Plus there's the irony of impersonating an impersonator, which really just makes me smile.

In short, it's great study material...and entertaining.
