Bert Kreischer's action-comedy TheMachine will likely appeal to his fans though may leave other audience members feeling empty. Our review:
I was first introduced to Bert Kreischer's "Machine" bit during my Thanksgiving break in college. My friend poured shots of authentic Russian vodka and while we were lounging around, he decided to show me and another friend Kreischer's bit. I'd always been fond of stand-up comedy, but Kreischer's way of telling stories and making me laugh was really something special.
In The Machine, Kreischer plays a fictionalized version of himself. Much like his real-life counterpart, he's gained fame from telling his Machine story on-stage, which has led to him scoring merchandising deals, appearing on late-night talk shows, and co-hosting the highly successful podcast 2 Bears 1 Cave with his best friend Tom Segura. At the start of the film, Kreischer has fallen on hard times.
Kreischer brings his on-stage persona to the film for better and for worse as it sometimes negates when the film tries to have quieter moments. He plays himself as a Homer Simpson-type. He's oafish, a little bit dense, but at the end of the day still has a good heart. Hamill is also serviceable in his role, but unfortunately, Kreischer and him don't really have much chemistry with one another and feel like a mismatched pairing. Jimmy Tatro is believable in his role as a younger Bert.
