Rubin and Ed (1991)
10/10
Who is the miserable failure in this room?

This is a really great, special little film. I'm very surprised that it is as obscure and scarce as it is. I think with a wider release on DVD, this movie would find an audience with Glover fans and people who like strange films. The appeal goes beyond just cult status, though, as it has genuine charm and even some warmth thrown in with the bizarreness of it all. Hesseman is great as Ed, the beaten, downtrodden sort of failed businessman character. And Glover, well, he's amazing as the demented Rubin. This film seems almost ahead of its time. I think people would "get it" today. There are some truly hilarious sequences, some food for thought, and overall the film is just a really good time. 10/10 for sure.
