Critic Reviews

  • Stephen Garrett, Time Out

    Add two stars-or even three-if you're as passionate about cheesy B-actor Campbell as he is about himself.

  • Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times

    Perhaps the best thing that can be said about My Name Is Bruce is that Bruce Campbell has in fact appeared in worse movies.

  • Reyhan Harmanci, San Francisco Chronicle

    Light as air, My Name Is Bruce is good for a mild chuckle, not a belly laugh. As any Campbell fan knows, managing expectations is key to getting the most from his work.

  • Dennis Harvey, Variety

    Cheerfully embracing his status as cult B-movie genre megastar even as he sends it up, Bruce Campbell's sophomore directorial excursion, My Name is Bruce, is a big in-joke of definite if limited appeal.

  • Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times

    Subtract Campbell from this movie's idiot-friendly equation and you've got just about any dimwitted horror comedy that's gone straight to video.

    Very good horror comedy starring Bruce Campbell as himself, My Name is Bruce is a fun film from start to finish. Though it could have been better, this is nonetheless a must see for fans of Bruce Campbell. This film is a parody of the actor's career, and he does it beautifully.… More

    Truly hilarious film in places with some wicked lines from the man Campbell :) The plot, look and acting is really B-Movie and cheesy (almost like a 'Scooby Doo' episode) but that's how it suppose to be...just silly nonsense. I love the way the whole film is a send up… More

    This parody on the "movie star is forced to safe the day" genre has one major problem: it uses all the plot elements it makes fun of. It's always the same: somehow the star assumes it's all an act, realizes the threat, feels and returns to safe the day. The fact… More

    Bruce Campbell movies make me always chuckle.
