The story follows Cage as he channels his various action movie roles to rescue his family from a deranged superfan. In the movie, directed by Tom Gormican and written by Kevin Etten, Cage plays Nick Cage, a heightened version of himself with the same filmography. Some material may not be suitable for children.Nicolas Cage is obviously the best person to play the parody version of himself in the new film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, but after the filmmakers teased a potential portrayal by chameleon actor Christian Bale, it's hard not to think about what could have been. The Motion Picture Association rating is PG - parental guidance suggested. The Catholic News Service classification is A-II - adults and adolescents. The film contains characters in peril and brief mature references. But the soundtrack also includes an original Bono composition, written specifically for the movie, “Your Song Saved My Life.” Thus the cast belts out or croons covers of tunes by Prince, Elton John, Dionne Warwick, Coldplay and, of course, U2 - among others. Themes of empathy, honesty and the means of coping with grief are also highlighted. Its treatment of such topics as self-doubt and the ability to deal with setbacks - as well as bullying, privilege and popularity - may especially resonate with teens. The tone of Jennings’ script is a bit darker than that of his previous screenplay. The wild scramble that ensues is thought-provoking as well as diverting. The hitch? Since the death of his wife 15 years ago, Clay has been one of the world’s most famous recluses. The proposed show, Buster assures Jimmy, will feature legendary lion rock star Clay Calloway (voice of Bono, in his acting debut).
To break through Jimmy’s initial indifference, Rosita’s effusive dancing partner and fellow pig Gunter (voice of Nick Kroll) comes up with a creative but problematic idea that prompts Buster to make a rash promise. His enthusiasm renewed, Buster, with his pals in tow, approaches Suki’s boss, lupine media magnate Jimmy Crystal (voice of Bobby Cannavale), directly. “Anyone who sets out to follow their dreams is bound to face a dip in the canal,” she tells him. Though crushingly dismissed by snooty canine talent scout Suki (voice of Chelsea Peretti), Buster gets encouragement from established sheep singer Nana (voice of Jennifer Saunders).
The aspiring headliners include gifted but still shy elephant Meena (voice of Tori Kelly) Rosita (voice of Reese Witherspoon), the overworked mom of 25 piglets and porcupine punk rocker Ash (voice of Scarlett Johansson). Koala theater owner Buster Moon (voice of Matthew McConaughey), dreams of having the troupe he brought together in the kick-off perform in fabled Redshore City (think Las Vegas). Fueled by familiar tunes and buoyed by enjoyable humor, though, their story is on target for most others. “Sing 2” (Universal), writer-director Garth Jennings’ follow-up to his 2016 animated musical comedy, finds that film’s ensemble of animal entertainers aiming for the big time.Īs they work to fulfill their ambition, some of the dangers through which they pass are too scary for little kids.
