Synopsis:

From IMDb: “In PAINT, Owen Wilson portrays Carl Nargle, Vermont’s #1 public television painter who is convinced he has it all: a signature perm, custom van, and fans hanging on his every stroke… until a younger, better artist steals everything (and everyone) Carl loves.”

Poster Rating: C+ / C+ / C+

Review: (#1) You know his hair and his style, but do you really know Bob Ross? I mean Carl Nargle? It works to sell a film that doesn’t have a lot going for it other than imitation. (#2) This is reminiscent not just of the style and look of Bob Ross, but also the style of the period in which he first started painting on television.

(#3) An extension of the prior designs, this one might better accentuate the corny theme of the film, but it isn’t even remotely appealing.

Trailer Rating: C- / C

SEE ALL TRAILERS BELOW
Review: (#1) The attempt to conjure up memories of Bob Ross is ill-advised, especially when this comedy tries to sell itself as something more than a good-natured spoof.

(#2) The first trailer gave us more of the story than this effort, but there are a couple more lightly humorous moments that just hang there without emphasis, which could be a metaphor for the film itself.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
