Marty Supreme is one of those movies that has really stuck with me. I wasn\u2019t sure if I liked it at first, as I <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/thought-marty-supreme-sports-movie-110000452.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:didn\u2019t expect the more comedic tone;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">didn\u2019t expect the more comedic tone<\/a> of the movie, but I\u2019ve been thinking and talking about it ever since, which is always a great sign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One thing that I\u2019m not a big fan of, however, is the stunt casting. It\u2019s not that the acting was bad, by any means, cast members like Kevin O\u2019Leary and Tyler, the Creator (billed as Tyler Okonma) were actually pretty great, but I still have some issues. Let me explain.<\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Tyler Okonma laughing with his mouth open in Marty Supreme\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/273lDlyKg0xhpMoE9bHzOg--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/344fa9c4669a6ad72b31ced7cfd63eaf\"\/><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Credit: A24<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Overall, The Cast Is Great<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Director Josh Safdie definitely took an unconventional approach to the casting of this <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/17-great-a24-movies-where-140000764.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:great A24 film;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">great A24 film<\/a>. At the top of the bill is a bona fide movie star, Timothee Chalamet. I\u2019m on board with Chalamet winning his first Oscar for playing the smarmy, obnoxious, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/marty-supreme-made-root-terrible-150000374.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:wholly unlikeable Marty Mauser;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">wholly unlikeable Marty Mauser<\/a>. He\u2019s fantastic. Gwyneth Paltrow is also wonderful as Marty\u2019s lover, Kay Stone. The supporting characters, played by established actors like Odessa A&#8217;zion, Abel Ferrara, Fran Drescher, and Sandra Bernhard, are also all fantastic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">That brings us to much of the rest of the cast. I want to be clear, though, I don\u2019t think any of the cast members who I would describe as \u201cstunt casting\u201d were bad. In fact, I walked away very impressed by how good Kevin \u201cMr. Wonderful\u201d O\u2019Leary is in the movie. I didn\u2019t expect that at all. Still, every time a character came on screen played by someone famous for reasons other than acting, I got pulled out of the movie, if only briefly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Kevin O'Leary sitting with his finger tips touching each other in Marty Supreme\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/1aTRrO55z7.pSIodbzuHxA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MDtjZj13ZWJw\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/cinemablend_388\/5f35ed8d123b92ddac0daf98b8b92cb5\"\/><span class=\"absolute bottom-0 right-0 rounded-full bg-white p-3 opacity-100 shadow-elevation-3 transition-opacity duration-300 group-hover:block group-hover:opacity-100 md:p-[17px] lg:bottom-6 lg:right-6 lg:bg-white\/90 lg:p-5 lg:opacity-0 lg:shadow-none\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p>Credit: A24<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Stunt Casting Can Be Fun, But It Can Go Too Far<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Everyone loves a fun, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/32-amazing-celebrity-cameos-movies-140456000.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:random cameo in a movie;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">random cameo in a movie<\/a> from people who aren\u2019t known for acting. In Uncut Gems, from Josh Safdie and his brother Benny, Kevin Garnett\u2019s role is perfect. Bob Barker is another great example in Happy Gilmore. I could go on and on. However, there comes a point when it just gets distracting. That\u2019s what happened to me in Marty Supreme. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The movie is chock-full of random people in the cast who come from different backgrounds. There is the aforementioned Kevin O\u2019Leary, who has a big role in the movie. There is also another businessman, John Catsimatidis, who also appears. Sometimes these cameos make sense, like basketball players Tracy McGrady and Kemba Walker playing Harlem Globetrotters. Sometimes they make less sense, like NBA legend George Gervin playing the manager of the table tennis hall.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Sometimes they just seem forced, like \u201cThe Man with the Golden Voice\u201d Ted Williams and music writer Larry &#8220;Ratso&#8221; Sloman as Marty\u2019s uncle. Playwright David Mamet, playing the director of a play that Kay is starring in, falls somewhere in between making sense and being a little off the wall. I will admit that I love Penn Jillette in just about everything he does, so that cameo was a lot of fun for me.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Again, it\u2019s not any of these celebrities&#8217; fault that I was pulled out of the movie, but it was distracting to constantly be clocking in my head who was playing whom and where I\u2019d seen them before. I still love the movie, and as always, I can&#8217;t wait to see what <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/entertainment\/movies\/articles\/upcoming-a24-movies-talk-priscilla-200456763.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:A24 comes up with next;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\">A24 comes up with next<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission.
