For 22 seasons, he\u2019s been painting and whispering his way to local fame if not fortune. Carl lives in a customized 1970s van called &#8220;Vantastic&#8221; and wears his hair and clothes in styles that are straight out of the same decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With his odd charm and confidently breezy demeanor, he\u2019s also seduced his way through most of his female co-workers at the station. When the station hires a young female artist (Ciara Ren\u00e9e) to host a competing painting show, everyone suddenly realizes how antiquated Carl\u2019s art and mannerisms have become. Carl has to face the future and his place in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Paint<\/em><\/strong> takes place in a world that reminded me of <a href=\"https:\/\/movieassault.com\/index.php\/2004\/07\/11\/napoleon-dynamite-2004\/\"><strong><em>Napoleon Dynamite<\/em><\/strong><\/a> in many ways. Ostensibly taking place in the present, the furniture, clothes, and locations recall an earlier time. And not just Carl&#8217;s. It seems as if everyone in the town has a console television and oddly colored or paneled walls. And like the characters in that earlier film, the characters of <strong><em>Paint<\/em><\/strong> seem to live in their own reality. None of them are particularly well-drawn and, frequently, their actions are impulsive to the point where I wondered if I&#8217;d missed something. (I hadn&#8217;t.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, Wilson&#8217;s Carl and Michaela Watkins&#8217; Katherine comprise the focal point of the film. Their performances make the best of what they&#8217;re given script-wise. The creative decision to dole out the details of their characters&#8217; relationship in flashbacks makes it unnecessarily difficult to understand their reactions in early scenes. Once things became clear in the third act, I wished I&#8217;d had more information earlier on. Not that anything about their relationship &#8212; or anything else about <strong><em>Paint<\/em><\/strong>, for that matter &#8212; is hard to figure out. It just feels like writer\/director Brit McAdams is trying to be clever with the narrative at the expense of clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mildly amusing and intentionally quirky, <em><strong>Paint<\/strong><\/em> is never laugh-out loud funny. It has some inspired moments but never seems to find its footing.<\/p>\n\n\n<span class=\"fsrs\"><span class=\"fsrs-stars\"><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-fas fa-fw fa-star-half-stroke \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><i class=\"fsrs-far fa-fw fa-star \"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"hide fsrs-text fsrs-text__hidden\" aria-hidden=\"false\">2.5 out of 5.0 stars<\/span><span class=\"lining fsrs-text fsrs-text__visible\" aria-hidden=\"true\">2.5<\/span><\/span>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mildly amusing and intentionally quirky, Paint is never laugh-out loud funny.
