🎥 Movies of 2021, 15: Hear My Song. Through the whole thing I was thinking “This is a lot like Funny Bones”. Turns out they were made by the same folks.
Like the later Funny Bones, this one is built on charm, music-hall nostalgia and a hefty dose of magical realism. It’s a bit of a ramshackle affair, but a fun one. Given a choice between the two, Funny Bones is the better film. But I’d rather spend time with Ned Beatty playing a goofy Irish tenor than Jerry Lewis playing an asshole comedian (aka himself).
