FILM REVIEW: "JOE DICK" - DELIGHTFUL DEBUT COMEDY FROM STAR/DIRECTOR GREG LINDSAY; COULD BE NEXT BEN STILLER

by Don Rose

Joe Dick is a daring, delightfully funny first feature from actor/star/director Greg Lindsay, who is not afraid to blend multiple comedic styles to achieve his goal: delivering the most funny from each scene. The chemistry between Lindsay and his Owen-Wilson-esque co-star is near perfect, and there are two sequences in the film that had me laughing so hard I was crying. An impressive debut from a rising talent all should keep their eyes on.

Look for Joe Dick to be released to the general public soon. Greg could just be the next Ben Stiller. Seriously. Funny: it's Greg's middle name. Not surprising, given his Second City pedigree. A name to watch in 2009 and beyond.
