My Name is Bruce
 
Just watched this yesterday.

Jeebus - I was shocked how bad this was. Totally unfunny. Bruce Campbell isn't bad in it but his one liners aren't enough to carry a whole film. All the other characters were annoying and the monster was piss poor...

Com'on - the Evil Dead trilogy was great as was Bubba Ho-tep. Waxwork II was a lot of funn too.The Adventures of Brisco County Jr was a decent show .

I was half joking, he does have a lot of real stinkers tho.

I was pretty disapointed in this as well, It got really hyped on here, maybe that got my expectations up to high. But yeah, considering the idea behind it and baseing it on himself you would have expected him to make more of an effort.

it was pretty weak .. he deserves better writers and a bigger budget.

the 'monster' was lame as hell.

I found it hilarious fan service with a clear sense of what it wanted to be. The in jokes, the quotes, and the props all screamed of a film made for real fans of his characters. Maybe the big screen made it better but I had a blast. I was expecting a cheesy B-Movie and that's what I got, I suppose if that's what I wasn't prepared for I'd have been disappointed.

Went into it not expecting much, so I wasn't dissapointed. Bruce did a decent job and I liked how he was portraing himself. That being said, the writers must have been hired for a few bucks. The monster wasn't impressive, though he was amusing. Would have liked to see the monster do something other than decapitate everyone he saw.

I too found My Name Is Bruce to be pretty funny. I wasn't expecting more than a B grade movie dishing out love to the Campbell fans so I was happy with what I got. Although I do agree that he should be in better horror films, perhaps as a starring role instead of the guy who gets killed quickly.

I thought this was a fun flick that had some great lines and wasn't afraid to take the piss out of itself.

I think my favorite part didn't even have dialogue. I laughed my ass off when he was running from the monster and shooting back at but only hitting people from the town.

Haha! That was a great scene! I also liked Ted Raimi's role in the movie, he's always a fun addition to those movies.

My name is Bruce is the name of his new movie on dvd

I actually really enjoyed this movie. I had no expectations and expected it to be pretty tongue-in-cheek.

There were definitely a lot of "Bruce acting like Bruce" moments in the movie, which I enjoyed.
I also enjoyed that he was kind of an asshole, since everything I have ever heard about him was that he was kind of a dick to fans at conventions, haha.

(dunno if that is true, but that is the perception that I have of him)

I just finished watching this this morning and I couldn't agree more! I felt like it was a nod to all his fans and just had all these Bruce moments. I also found it hilarious!

Spoiler:

I was a little disappointed with the "breaking the 4th wall ending" just because i hate when they do that. I also kinda though that after they killed Guan-Di that the corpses in the graveyard would come to life or something and we would get to see Bruce use that massive chainsaw.

Other than that, I got no complaints!
