With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for people who enjoy a knot in their stomach and fans of a well-timed joke. One the grown-ups won't mind watching too. Shelve it next to A Close Shave.
- The mood
- Light and funny, tense.
- The pace
- Bright and bouncy, at 8 min. Done before bedtime.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1945: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
Donald has an unpleasant evening when a mysterious book salesman comes to his door then disappears leaving Donald with a collection of whodunnit novels. He reads one and gets so fully involved in it that it appears that the characters are actually coming out of the book and into his living room getting him involved in the murder caper. Finally the author of the book, J. Harold King, steps forth and claims Donald innocent. The characters return to the novel from whence they came leaving Donald wondering if it was really just his "imagination"
