I typed up my own review for Becky, but then realized it matches Kyle's verbatim. So I just posted his.Kyle wrote:Becky- What did I just see? For real. It's a home invasion movie with Kevin James as a terrifying white supremacist that escapes from prison. He terrorizes Becky and her family- which consists of Becky's Dad (played by Joel McHale), Dad's fiance and her son. You see, Becky's 13 and her mom died a year before and even though Dad is "ready to move on," she's still angry with the world. And when a group of neo-nazi escapees invade their vacation home, she unleashes her fury on them. Y'all. Y'ALL! Does she ever! I really thought this movie was going to be a bust with Kevin James in it- but he is legitimately terrifying. But the draw is Lulu Wilson, playing Becky, who was actually 13 when she filmed this and is a fucking force of nature. Her story arc is so great and the interplay between her and James is so tense and scary. The one drawback here is Joel McHale. Look- when he's playing the sarcastic guy (basically himself, or imitating Will Arnett, I suppose) it's just not good. I'm concluding he's just not a good actor because you see him suppressing his true personality. But who cares. This movie was amazing despite him. Warning- it's gory. So if that's not your bag- watch it anyways!
