Excellent! John Malkovich play the character of a man on the edge of total rage really well.

(Based on an advance preview:) JOHN MALKOVICH stars as an over-the-hill entertainer, a thought-reader ?mentalist? based on the life of The Amazing Kreskin. In this film, his character is quite accurately described as ?CHEESY but CHARMING". He needs a new personal assistant, and the job is given to a student named Troy (played by COLIN HANKS) who?s fed up with the idea of being a lawyer, to the dismay of his father (played by his real-life father TOM HANKS). Malkovich has an unforgettable ?greeting? when he meets people, & he exudes a ?barely-tolerant? outgoing smarminess when he wants to impress his audience. He can be unkind to associates, or put on an enchanting appeal when he feels it?ll help him. Malkovich is a real PLEASURE to watch in this role, as is Colin with his relaxed naturalness (abetted by his girlfriend played by EMILY BLUNT). It?s a gentle comedy, enjoyed more for its situational actions rather than any wild or especially witty dialogue; in other words, it ?WORKS".

It's a "little" movie. I'm an Emily Blunt fan and I like John Malkovich. It was a good role for Colin Hanks. It was pleasant hour and a half.
