Review of The Hero

The Hero (I) (2017)
7/10
moustache love

Faded Hollywood western star Lee Hayden (Sam Elliott) is sick and getting by with commercial voice-over work. His weed friend Jeremy Frost (Nick Offerman) introduces him to aspiring comedian Charlotte Dylan (Laura Prepon). He is being honored at a banquet for his old movie, The Hero. He is estranged from his daughter Lucy (Krysten Ritter). With no one to invite, he brings along Charlotte. Despite their age difference, they start up a relationship.

Gravitas. That's what Sam Elliott brings to this movie. The plot isn't anything new. It has some slower parts. It is Sam at the heart of this. Initially, I'm leery of this relationship but they do grow on me. That is the way of the moustache. This is not necessarily the best but the moustache love wins this.
