April Picks: The Movies and TV You Can't Miss15 of 25
The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent | In Theaters on Friday, April 22
Plot: A cash-strapped Nicolas Cage agrees to make a paid appearance at a billionaire super fan's birthday party, but is really an informant for the CIA since the billionaire fan is a drug kingpin and gets cast in a Tarantino movie.
Our Take: Talk about a story idea that was just waiting for someone to pick up their laptop and get to work. Nic Cage plays a version of himself in this meta action comedy that drops a cash-strapped movie star (who's secretly a CIA operative) on a drug kingpin's estate, where the buddy movie/love affair looks to get weird from there. Pedro Pascal co-stars alongside Tiffany Haddish and Neil Patrick Harris. If this story mimics real life, look for Pascal to be cast in QT's next/final movie. — Arno
