There are enough laughs from the characters, if not the plot, to make for an entertaining 90 minutes.

Mindhorn review

Mindhorn, for the most part, is a gem of a film. It's got laughs, nostalgia, fun visuals and some really great performances. What difference do a few minor quibbles make when you're laughing all the way from the company logos to the end credits?

TVO reviews: Mindhorn

Our roving reporter, Mog, has been lucky enough to see Mindhorn twice. The first time she was so absorbed in the film she forgot to make any notes. That probably tells you all you need to know (about both the film and her). On the second run, she was able to remember why she was there; here's her review.
