| Dax Shepard (Dax Shepard) in Brother's Justice. |
Title game
By John Esther
Dax Shepard (Dax Shepard), the funniest guy in Idiocracy and Baby Mama, has decided to retire his comic chops and become a marital arts star in his next film, which will be written, produced and maybe directed (he has not decided yet) by Shepard. He does not have much of a storyline yet for the his makeover project, much less a script, but he has a title, Brother's Justice.
After Shepard and his producing buddy, Nate Tuck, are rejected numerous times, and all the poorer for the delays, they decide to reach out to fellow Hollywood actors like Tom Arnold and Ashton Kutcher who are not immediately in on the joke...until Shepard starts pitching.
Co-directed by Shepard and David Palmer, Brother's Justice comes off in many ways, such as its attack on Hollywood preciousness and America's homophobia, like a stripped down version of Sascha Baron Cohen's latest films. Shepard is not as gusty to go undercover to unmask society's shortcomings as Cohen, nor does he have the budget, but the mockumentary is still a pretty funny send up on moviemaking and, as such, will definitely appeal to Hollywood insiders a tad more than the general public.
Considering how well this would have played to Tinseltown audiences, and that the Newport Beach Film Festival snagged Brother's Justice up before the upcoming Los Angeles Film Festival could screen it, shows somebody behind the Orange Curtain was on his or her toes.
