Joe the King (1999)
This isn’t an autobiography but rather, a director so bent on making himself out to be a martyr-hero that he loses the plot altogether.

All the ugly guys in Hollywood come together so that they can play big studs in a little movie.
Oh, this is one emotionally draining and resonating watch! I love it!
Is this a montage or a movie? It doesn’t seem to know either.
This is a sweet, lovely, but ultimately rather hollow Oscar-bait movie.
Who would have thought a middle-aged professor perving on much young ladies can be such heartwarming fun?
Whatever this movie wants to say or do, I’m just not seeing it.
Yawn, the eyes are indeed widely shut. All that nudity and still so much blah-dom? Sigh.
How desperate is this thing for an Oscar?
Aside from the novelty of seeing local actors in an international movie, this one is a bit of a snooze. Watchable, but not very exciting.
