Comedy Drama called Humble Pie Not American Fork

Reviewed by se7en187 7 / 10

Funny, original story with some great scenes

I saw this at the Waterfront Film Festival in Saugatuck, Michigan.Tracy Orbinson (Hubbel Palmer) is an overweight grocery store worker who has dreams of becoming an actor. He takes acting classes and is greatly impressed by his acting teacher Truman Hope (William Baldwin). Along the way he befriends a group of teenagers and tries to reform them from their rowdy ways. The film is filled with a lot of entertaining scenes and funny moments, it's a good and fun movie.I loved the first half of the movie, it was very funny ad great to watch. But I felt it lost some of its wit and comedy when the teenagers and Hubbel concocted a plan regarding the grocery store, and the film never really recovered after it. It still had some charm in the second half, but it started to become a comedy/drama, and I would have preferred the film to be a consistent comedy.Directed by Chris Bowman and written and starring Hubble Palmer, it's a worthy effort. The first half is great, and the ending also has the same flare as the beginning of the film. Chris Bowman, Hubbel Palmer, actress Mary Lynn Rajskub, and producer Jeremy Coon were at the film festival and had some funny stories to tell about the making of the film. They were a nice group of people and obviously had a great time making the film.

not bad.

Humble pie, sometimes called american fork... written and starring hubbel palmer. Tracy is waaaay overweight and unpopular. And because he lacks confidence, everyone takes advantage of him. His acting coach even starts dating his sister, using tracy's ticket! His sister seems to be his only friend. The running gag is that he keeps failing the driving test. But when tracy is charged with a crime, who will stand by him? And will he ever pass the test for his license? Keep an eye out for william baldwin in a supporting role. It's okay! Not a major work, but no big flaws or plot holes. It could have used more story in the story, a bit more character for the various characters. Directed by chris bowman, who had also worked on the napoleon dynamite series. I had already seen his masterminds, which was also pretty good!
