Or does Anyone else feel Joaquin Phoenix painfully overacts in this? I'm a huge fan and think he's one of the best actors working today but just think he overdoes it quite a bit in this. Movie is good overall I will say
sharenot his best performance.
shareI think he was trying too hard to steal Spicoli's thunder.
shareI don’t know if it’s just you, but I happen to think he’s something of a revelation in this film. He nails the simple-minded gullibility required to make the character believable. It’s probably my favourite performance of his.
Everyone in this film is superb, actually.
