October 1, 2009This should have been a great film. Unfortunately Bruce totally misses the mark. When spoofing your own films its important the film is a) Better than the ones your spoofing b) Funny c) Original. This film was none of the above. I still love Bruce Campbell, just a little less tha...( read more)

August 24, 20092.5 stars simply because it's Bruce Campbell trying hard to make fun of his failed career, although he kind of fails at that too. The first 5 minutes had me real excited, but then it quickly turned into humor fit for people that liked Alien Apocalypse.

May 19, 2009The shame of this film is that if someone unfamiliar with The Chin were to watch it, they'd have no idea why Bruce is so adored by his fanbase. In fact, they might even be turned off from ever wanting to find out. Silly and low budget, and sure, a fun idea, but Bruce deserves b...( read more)

April 25, 2009Bad jokes, monster fighting and darkly lit scenes. It cannot touch the excellent "Evil Dead" films.

October 29, 2009MY NAME IS BRUCE is exactly what Bruce Campbell fans would expect it to be, but with perhaps a bit more vulgar language included. Having read the Dark Horse comic book that was created to parallel it, I wasn't expecting much--the humor in the film relies completely on the deliver...( read more)

October 9, 2009I have a parrot named Bruce. Seriously. I loved this movie with my whole heart and was quoting it days after I watched it. Bruce Campbell is amazing, and I'm going to end up adding this one to my movie collection.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Preening and fleeing like a grunge-flick Bob Hope, Campbell's the whole show, but a little of his meta-referential shtick goes a long way. full review

March 26, 2009Did i needed to be reminded by Bruce Campbell how many bad movies he got to be in? The answer is "NO".Perhaps some Bruce Campbell fans think he's the greatest actor & nothing can't go wrong.Just found this movie silly & not funny.Nothing against Bruce,he was great on Evil Dead,but is been a long time...
