'Waltzing with Brando' Review: Billy Zane Is a Bright Spot in an Awful Film

There may never be a Marlon Brando museum, but if there is one, expect director Bill Fishman’s light comedy hagiography Waltzing with Brando to be playing silently on a loop next to the ticket booth. Indeed, watching Waltzing with Brando without sound is the best way to enjoy a film that puts Brando on a wave-swept pedestal when it’s not toasting his effortless middle-aged cool. It will also spare everyone Fishman’s hacky dialogue, legend-burnishing historical tangents, lazy narration, and fourth wall-breaking explainer videos about the Ghyben–Herzberg lens. And, most importantly, it’ll save the world from a criminally miscast Jon Heder failing to properly enunciate his lines, even the important ones where the former Napoleon Dynamite digs deep into his soul and demands that “we have to find a way to share Earth’s precious bounty.”
