In A World (2013)
Rated R for language
Starring Lake Bell, Fred Melamed, Rob Corddry
Written and Directed by Lake Bell
The Story:
Carol
(Bell) is a voice coach who lives in the shadow of her father Sam
(Melamed), the current king of the voice overs now that Don LaFontaine
has passed away. As a new gig is announced that will use the "In A
World..." intonation, whoever lands this job will likely become the new
king. Carol wants that king to be a queen and she tries to land a job
reserved exclusively for men.
Or that's what the story seemed liked.
There was also a romance involved.
However, 20 minutes in, and I really still didn't care for any of the characters and I turned it off.
Perhaps I missed out on greatness, I guess I'll never know.
As
someone who is a big fan of voice-over actors, heck it was the first
"dream job" I remember wanting to have as a child. My hope was to grow
up and become the next Mel Blanc. :)
Nope, I just never latched on to these characters.
The longer it played, the more glazed over my eyes became.
Sorry, Lake Bell, I was not a fan.
Final Grade: D
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: None whatsoever.
