James B Bruce Campbell is the saving grace of this film other than that it's a couple good jokes and a boring plot but it's worth it to see him.

Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It brings me no joy whatsoever to say that I did not like this movie, but it's completely true - It's a feature-length extension of a single-joke premise that was already the basis for the movie Galaxy Quest. Literally, this is Galaxy Quest but for Evil Dead, but not nearly as varied. While Galaxy Quest wasn't quite perfect, it did feature a nuanced villain, some genuine dramatic reveals involving the naïve denizens, and the way the heroes won the day was a genuinely creative plot-turn; My Name Is Bruce follows the same beats but the villain is literally just a stand-in, they defeat him via some silly contrivance, and the "It was never real before" reveal here is played purely for laughs, and it's a joke that the movie literally set its entire runtime setting up, so it's not a joke that catches you off-guard. And also, there's like 10 minutes of screen-time dedicated to two guys singing a song about the villain; not all at once, but they cut to them singing the same song for 2-3 minutes, and they do this like four times! Now, one thing I will strongly give is that this movie has Bruce Campbell playing himself, literally, and we see a comic exaggeration of his life, everything from receiving only Z-Movie scripts to act in, to him being such a wash-out that he's literally drinking whiskey from his dog's water bowl with such frequency that his own ex-wife says, in a phone-call: "You've been drinking from the dog's bowl again, haven't you?" These moments of the life of Bruce are genuinely funny from time to time, and honestly they're what make the movie at all worth watching. What's sad is that this movie tried to make itself interesting by jumping on the Meta Narrative bandwagon, but they actually did a better job of this trope self-awareness in Season 3 of Ash vs The Evil Dead, making this an instance where the central joke in a parody was actually less funny than when the official thing it's parodying actually dips its toes into the same theme.
