THE REVIEW
Chuck Hirsch Barris from a young age, like most of us boys, has only one thing on his mind (uh, precisely that) along with one of its many variations, namely getting it sucked by some girl, finding in the reluctant Tuvia uh, the first of a long line of candidates for the purpose... who will even give him the nickname “strawberry dick”.
Eagerly pacing around and unable to find tangible satisfaction for his fixation, that is, the only thing he has on his mind, Chuck convinces himself that to dip his cookie he must move to Manhattan and get a job at the well-known television network NBC to become famous and solve his main, um, existential problem.
This somewhat improbable autobiography “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind“ marks the directorial debut of George Timothy Clooney, who also stars in the film, and features among its protagonists Rutger Oelsen Hauer, and in a cameo, William Bradley "Brad" Pitt along with Matthew Paige “Matt” Damon it unfolds a story within a story with killers and secret services during the “Cold War” and is watchable as it flows with twists and hilarious situations in the climb towards television success and success with the CIA.
The main actor Sam Rockwell does brilliantly, and Drew Blythe Barrymore and Julia Fiona Roberts are no less, and that's it...
