Man on Film: Is Ella McKay As Good As It Gets?

Ella McCay tries to channel that James L. Brooks magic from As Good As It Gets — but baby, this one barely gets past the trailers.

Jamie Lee Curtis? On autopilot. Woody Harrelson? Playing Cheers reruns. And our lead? Bless her heart — she’s giving us neurodivergent meets political ambition with a side of awkward daddy issues.

We wanted Erin Brockovich, but we got lukewarm latte and cozy flute music from 1997. We’re talking messy scandals, anti-climactic arcs, and the same soundtrack you cried to 25 years ago.

So the real question is:

Is Ella McKay… as good as it gets?

Or should we all be sending James L. Brooks an invoice?

Two snaps. Salty ones.

Listen now on Man on Film — where the movies get read for filth.

HAMNET Edition OF MAN ON FILM REVIEW

It’s RAINING, MAN – and this time we’re in Elizabethan England… kind of.

On this episode of MAN ON FILM, I dive into HAMNET – the “historical fiction but don’t quote us” love story inspired by Shakespeare’s real life… maybe. We’re talking Paul Mescal’s rising–star energy fresh off Gladiator II, witchy wives giving forest–witch vibes, sick twins, and a whole lot of “is this supernatural or did y’all just make that up?”

I break down:

• Why I gave HAMNET a solid B / 4 sweaty Gladiator snaps
• The wild choice to remix Shakespeare’s family life like it’s MCU Phase Four
• How grief, work, art, and messy relationships smash into each other
• Why this is a perfect date movie if you want deep convo after… and a terrible choice if you came for swords, blood, and Hamlet himself

No swoony TikTok fake-deep review here – just me, solo in the theater, telling you what worked, what dragged, and why the supernatural “Death in the corner of the room” stuff had me waiting for Vecna to show up.

Tap in, argue with me, and tell me:

Is HAMNET genius cinema or beautifully shot fanfic?

“Hamlet?”

Nah, baby – HAMNET. The fanfic cousin with Paul Mescal in a blouse and everybody catching feelings (and the plague).

New MAN ON FILM episode just dropped

I’m breaking down:

• Paul Mescal’s “young Maximus” energy
• Witch–wife, sick twins & Shakespeare on the grind
• That weird supernatural death-in-the-corner moment
• Why I gave it a B / 4 snaps – great date movie, not so great if you came for things blowing up

If you want:

Big tragic love

Forest magic & family drama

Shakespeare remixed like prestige fanfiction

…this one’s for you.

HAMNET: masterpiece or beautifully lit mess?
