Commercial Failure: Bernbaum’s Debut Doa
What sounds good on paper doesn’t always translate well on screen, and Zack Bernbaum’s directorial debut, And Now a Word from Our Sponsor, exemplifies the delirious dangers of gimmicky filmmaking. A cutesy idea that doesn’t seem far removed from something that could have easily been a wooden studio feature top lining Jim Carrey or Adam Sandler, sinks like a lead balloon within its establishing frames. Instead of making any attempt to redirect from the predictable trajectory outlined by its feeble premise, Bernbaum, together with Michael Hamilton-Wright’s naggingly insistent screenplay, instead plunge head long into its flat concept, a stubborn perseverance that makes its slight running time a grueling test of patience.
Opening with a montage of famous commercials, we find the collapsed body of Adan Kundle (Bruce Greenwood), unconscious in a white room filled with static television sets. It turns...

Still lean and handsome in his 50s, Bruce Greenwood has proven to be an incredibly versatile actor over a career that stretches back to the late 1970s. In many of his roles, Greenwood has exuded great intelligence, whether he's playing a heroic type or a villain, so casting him in And Now a Word From Our Sponsor as a guileless advertising executive who can only speak in advertising slogans sounds like a canny idea. The execution of that idea falls short, however. In the screenplay written by Michael Hamilton-Wright and directed by Zack Bernbaum, Greenwood embodies Adan Kundle with the requisite blank-eyed expression and stiff body language, and he recites marketing catchphrases with aplomb. After kind-hearted charity fundraiser Karen Hillridge (Parker Posey) agrees to put...
