MCT:August 1, 2008I'd been wanting to see this film for a while, mostly because I like Lucas Black and Fred Willard both, and the premise seemed ok for a non-thinking movie.
For those of you who have seen Camp (I know there are several on my list), I believe you will like this because the movies share similar themes (loveable misfits band together for support and for a creative outlet).
It's not groundbreaking or uber original, but it's fun and satisfying. A movie to see with friends. -

Why when I saw that Fred Willard was in this did I say, "Oh no!" but trying to ignore him, I enjoyed this one. It is a feel good, with bluesy, rocking spirituals. For me it is all about Lucas Black (The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, Deepwater) and his performance. I liked him in Jarhead, Cold Mountain, All the Pretty Horses, Crazy in Alabama, and Sling Blade. Even though Lucas Black's character is just supporting William Lee Scott's character, he is the savior of this film. But there is not enough focus on him because the focus is on the main character played by William Lee Scott (The Butterfly Effect, Identity, Peal Harbor, Gone in Sixty Seconds, October Sky). I don't necessarily recommend it but it is not too bad if willing to overlook some big holes, there is some good stuff. I think it is a 2-1/2 to 3 star movie but because of Lucas Black I ended up with 3-1/2 stars for Killer Diller.

MCT:March 4, 2008A real killer diller, can really play, according to Vernon (Lucas Black), an austic savant at piano, who crosses paths with Wesley (William Lee Scott), a car thief sent in a halfway house. Wesley has a way of getting into trouble, but this time, manages to get something right, by striking up a friendship with Vernon, and turning the halfway house gospel group into a rockin band. The music is real killer diller, the acting engaging, and the crisis is plotted out very realistically. Scott and Black both do outstanding jobs in their roles, and they have chemistry as unlikely friends; you believe the bond. W. Earl Brown is equally believable as the gruff, loving father who does what he can to love and protect his son. Fred Willard, as the director of the halfway house, provides comic relief by believing in his mission to help the kids and in joyfully spiting his brother, who doesn't think a bunch of criminals belong in their community.

This movie was a surprise. I hadn't heard much about it, but you'll laugh and the music is really good.
