Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind - 2002 - 6/10

Shaggy biopic based on the memoirs of Chuck Barris.
Who? Therein lies a wee problem. One should be a certain age to remember Barris.
Host of TV’s “Gong Show”, creator of “The Dating Game”, producer of “The Newlywed Game.”
Also … according to his autobiography … during this time, he worked as a CIA assassin.
This film plays those claims kinda straight, kinda tongue-in-cheek.
Nevertheless, this ridiculous film has a smart performance by Sam Rockwell, and boasts an incredible supporting cast (George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Rutger Hauer, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon!).
View as a goofy spoof (not as someone who believes everything they see).
