Review of The Insufferable Groo

What's so upsetting about this documentary is that I was really hoping for Groo to change or at least notice he was in over his head and figure things out for himself.. He doesn't. He just keeps going and he never learns or improves. He acts like he's Kubrick, he bosses people around endlessly, and he cries when things don't happen the way he hoped. I understand he's had it hard in life but he doesn't have to be a d-bag to everyone else. What also really upset me is the fact that some of the people in this film (Jack Black and Jared Hess)treat him as if he's awesome. I get it, his movies are goofy and funny and he needs his ego inflated but come on. This guy is so narcissistic that he thinks that's the gospel truth. You give him an inch and he'll take a mile. The movie made me less interested in wanting to see how his movie was going to be and much more interested in how hard he was going to screw things up, which I'm someways he did and someways he didn't. At the very most it made for an entertaining but empty character study.
