I am a professional painter in great part due to Bob Ross and The Joy of Painting. I thought the world of the man. That said, Paint is a quirky send up of not just Bob but the PBS culture in general. Most of the people who are hating on this movie are doing so out of a sincere but misguided protectiveness of Bob and his legacy.
The movie itself tells the tale of a PBS host who is aging out of his spot. He is threatened by a young upstart who is stealing his thunder. This is a clever reference to how Bob Ross came in and upended Bill Alexander's career as the primary TV painter.
No spoilers, but I urge you to stream this movie. Watch it apart from anything you may know and love about Bob Ross. Without that baggage, it is a good film.

To start with, let me make it well known that this movie was made for what a major movie spends on the craft cart for the extras for a day. No professional writers. No rewrite staff. No fancy camera tracking equipment. Do you even know what a roll of gaffers tape costs? For the decent stuff it is 20$ a roll.
Now that's out of the way. The story is fine. Little bit Purge, little bit psycho, little bit hostel. The acting is fine other than the girl. She is pretty abysmal. You just have to get past the idea of a big Hollywood production and more on the level of community theater. So I rank it as high as I did because the people who made it deserve to have their project seen. 4 points for the movie and 4 points for the chutzpah. Seems fair.
