Reviewer: George Sylex

Overview - Directed by Scott Abramovitch Eat Wheaties! is a brilliant and extremely commendable vehicle for Tony Hale, a comedic ability that frequently feels unused. Abramovitch consummately uses Hale's capacity to play validity and gullibility to help make perhaps the best job of his vocation, in a film that is both reliably amusing and shockingly sweet.

In view of Michael Kun's 2003 novel The Locklear Letters, normally centered around Heather Locklear rather than Banks, Eat Wheaties! looks at how our relationship to famous people has gotten increasingly more obscured in the web-based media time, as the apparent experience with them through these online records fools us into dismissing their independence. We have solace with big names, a thought that we know them since we see them on television shows or through their cautiously curated online media posts. Sid before long understands that not exclusively does web-based media give you an open greeting to connect with somebody you knew momentarily in school, yet additionally that it opens up your reality to a downpour of viral dunking on the off chance that you convey some unacceptable Facebook posts.

Sid (Tony Hale) is a merry worker at a Scottsdale office and he's been reached to co-seat a school gathering for the University of Pennsylvania. Acknowledging he hasn't plunged into the web-based media experience, Sid makes a profile on Facebook to reconnect with failed to remember companions, at last running over an old image of him in a gathering that included Elizabeth Banks. Reviewing a concise relationship with one of Elizabeth's sidekicks, Sid chooses for contact the entertainer through Facebook, welcoming her to the get-together and helping her to remember their past collaborations. He gets no reaction, yet Sid keeps on composing Elizabeth, offering journal like passages to her, likewise calling her representative, Frankie (Sarah Chalke), to check whether her customer recalls that him. Becoming mixed up in recollections and zeroed in on accepting a type of reaction, Sid loses contact with the real world, befuddling loved ones who don't totally confide in his stories of Elizabeth Banks and her celebrated expression, "Eat Wheaties!"

Eat Wheaties! is a tale about over the top conduct, with Sid attempting to dazzle others by repeating his set of experiences with Elizabeth Banks, at last contacting her representative to get a signed photograph, introducing it to his sibling, Tom (David Walton), for his birthday. In any case, Sid is certifiably not a perilous man, he's simply forlorn and effectively edgy, before long sending confession booth messages to Elizabeth, graphing his dating setbacks and beneficial encounters, producing an uneven kinship. Eat Wheaties! discovers the humor in such conduct, yet in addition the bitterness, however Sid stays an idealistic person, in any event, when he in the end gets a limiting request from Frankie, which undermines his gathering plans and, in the end, as long as he can remember. The material doesn't make numerous apparent shifts, yet Sid's experience into online media causes issues down the road for him, and Abramovich offers a somewhat intense token of web openness, with Sid uninformed of how he's been doing his own messages to the star of "Walk of Shame."

Eat Wheaties! has a heavenly cast that additionally incorporates Sarah Burns as Sid's conditional new sweetheart; David Walton and Elisha Cuthbert as his sibling and sister-in-law; Mimi Kennedy and Phil Reeves as his folks; Alan Tudyk as an irregularly steady school buddy; Lamorne Morris as a colleague; Danielle Brooks as a server; and Sarah Chalke as Banks' representative. The extents of their jobs fluctuate, however like Hale and Hauser, all convey totally aligned exhibitions. The essential topic in the film is the effect a superstar can have on a regular citizen's existence while never knowing it. In spite of web-based media profiles, distributed meetings, and frequently close to home assemblages of work, stars are as yet clean canvases to a certain extent. We can project onto them anything we need. We can even persuade ourselves that we'd be their closest companions in the event that we just knew them, in actuality.

Everybody has measurement to them, and by the day's end, Eat Wheaties! more than all else is about the basic force of benevolence towards your kindred individual. It might sound senseless or saccharine, yet especially on the planet that we are living in the present moment, having a film that is truly about how much contrast being good can make in an individual's life feels like the message we need for this second. Abramovitch has created an element that viably makes you need to move toward the world in an alternate manner subsequent to watching it. There's a genuineness to this film that discovers precisely the correct register in which to talk truth to what we as a whole need to hear somewhat a greater amount of nowadays.

Final Word - Eat Wheaties! is an eccentric satire that discovers unique kinds of entertaining in its story of a celebrated schmo who turns into the substitute for pretty much we all. The film has the heart, simply not the insight or sharpness to truly fill in as an observational satire about VIP love. Eat Wheaties! is however honorably sweet as it very well might be interesting, and includes a lifelong best presentation from star Tony Hale.

Tony Hale is Splendid in this Cringe Comedy!
