Leave your thoughts about The Mesmerist.
| Film ThreatMerle BertrandThe resulting concoction is a cinematic elixir that disappoints, no matter how much hypnosis one is under. |
| L.A. WeeklyErnest HardyThe actors do what they can with direction, from Gil Cates Jr., that calls for yelling, flailing and rapid-fire delivery of stale bons mots, but none of the film is as funny or clever as Cates and screenwriters Ron Marasco and Michael Goorjian (adapting Edgar Allan Poe's short story) seem to think. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonPlays like a mercilessly extended version of an uninspired "Saturday Night Live" sketch. |
| User ReviewMichelle DFunny flick.Not sure it would have been AS funny if it were not for NPH,but glad he was in it. |
| User ReviewDavid TFast-witted, but slowly paced. Good acting, weird story and hilarious dialogue save this from becoming too dull, and takes your mind off of the ass-blisteringly slow pacing. |
| User ReviewFilmGrinder SDumb as heck, but it's kind of fun. Really, there isn't much to the plot, half the time it feels like the characters are just yelling at each other. Not to mention that cast. It doesn't get too laughable, and the ending leaves little behind, but it's not too hard to sit through. |
| User ReviewGabe HI'm not sure what happened with this movie. It started out fairly funny, seeming kind of spoofish, but then I think the movie started to take itself too seriously and lost the humor it had at the beginning. It definitely dies after the first twenty minutes. |
| User ReviewMarion RStill on my Neil Patrick Harris Binge. I thought it was okay, I did find it funny in some parts which helped me get through the film. |
| User ReviewMax AWith this movie it feels more like you're watching a play rather than a movie. I adored the exaggerated characters. Some terrific dark humor, as well! |
| User ReviewKatelyn BJust AWFUL. I usually love any movie with NPH, but this was horrible. If I had to go back in time, I would have stopped myself from paying the 50 cents I did to buy it. |
