Tired of the big-budget blockbusters that lack any soul or resonance? Brian and Charles might just be for you. Having said that, you'll need to suspend your disbelief as much as you would with most blockbuster fare.
David Earl play Brian, a middle-aged man who lives alone and spends most of his days trying (and failing) to invent helpful gadgets. A stroke of luck (literally) sees his robot creation come alive in the manner of a modern-day Frankenstein.
Charles, as the robot is know, becomes Brian's best friend and companion. Along the way, Brian forms a romantic relationship with Hazel, a resident of a nearby village, and the three of them live out an eccentric but happy life... until Charles is abducted by a local bully.
The film is undoubtedly not for everyone but has a heart, soul and charm that makes for a refreshing hour and a half's viewing. It's also one of the more original films of 2022.

Not often you see an original and unique film in 2022 but this is one of those. Some really good acting, interesting story and solid dialogue with some wicked humour sprinkled in. Thoroughly enjoyed this and could see it becoming something of a cult classic. Andre Lamar's small role was a standout.
The film is based on a short play and you can tell - almost everything onscreen takes place in a small gas station store, the only other scenes take place just outside the small gas station store.
It's not really a comedy and the lines that are clearly supposed to be funny just aren't funny. If I were feeling generous, I'd say it has the feel of 'Clerks' to it, but it's nowhere near as accomplished as that film.
The USP here is that everything takes place in the hours leading up to midnight on Millennium NYE. The build up and heist plotting is actually really well done but the remaining 1hr 15m of the film never really lives up to it.
The lead performance is pretty good (the rest of the cast less so) but you very much get the feeling you're watching actors act, rather than any of it coming across natural or believable.
I've also read comments about how it 'accurately recreats the 1999 era', when the reality is that it's just a few older brands on the store shelves and some clothes (much of which is identical to what people wear today in any case).
Not entirely sure how anyone would rate this 10/10 when it literally defines the term 'distinctly average'. Is it worth watching? Just about. My attention drifted numerous times but I did make it to the end.
