A movie-buff friend of mine recommended it, so I put it on my Netflix list and finally popped it into the player. Cletis Tout turned out to be great fun. I enjoyed the interwoven flashbacks and the comments made by Critical Jim played by Tim Allen. Christian Slater plays a take-off on his usual slimy lying characters by playing a crook who tells the truth.

It helps to have seen some of the movies that Critical Jim riffs on as Finch's story unfolds, but that's not completely necessary. Pop a bottle of wine with a couple of friends some Friday night and enjoy this movie. Details Edit. Release date December 21, Spain. United States Canada. Box office Edit. Technical specs Edit.

Is it entirely necessary to add the layer of the story being told to Critical Jim?

Is this not one more unnecessary turn of the screw, to make a sound story into a gimmick? Could be. Or maybe not. By the end of the film I was a little restless, a little impatient at being jerked this way and that by the story devices.

There was a lot I liked in "Cletis Tout," including the performances and the very audacity of details like the magic tricks and the carrier pigeons. But it seemed a shame that the writer and director, Chris Ver Wiel , took a perfectly sound story idea and complicated it into an exercise in style. Less is more.
